Victim of a personal injury?

When someone else’s carelessness injures you or a loved one, you’re the one left to deal with the physical pain, the lost income, and the nonstop calls from the insurance company. The other party may have been reckless behind the wheel or failed to maintain a safe property. Whatever the circumstances, their negligence came with a costly price that’s now become your burden.

The Las Vegas personal injury lawyers with Sweet James Accident Attorneys have seen how fast an accident can change everything. Maybe you were hit while merging onto I-15, struck while crossing Fremont Street, or injured in a casino slip and fall on the Strip. The injuries you’ve suffered can quickly consume you without the right legal guidance and representation.

We help injury victims across Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin, and the greater Clark County area, building a claim that positions you for the best possible recovery. Consultations are always free, and you don’t pay unless we win.

Key Takeaways

• Negligence is a violation of a legal duty that allows injured people to seek compensation through a civil claim.
• Insurance companies evaluate claims based on their risk and payout exposure, not fairness or need.

• Insurance adjusters use early settlement offers to close cases quickly and limit what they pay, regardless of your actual needs.
• A strong legal team levels the playing field, forces the other side to take your claim seriously, and makes sure they negotiate in good faith.
• Hiring a qualified personal injury lawyer gives you a clear advantage from the start of your case.

What Is a Personal Injury Claim?

Personal injury law in Nevada gives injured people the right to pursue compensation when someone else’s negligence causes harm. That harm could be physical, emotional, or financial. The law recognizes that when another person or company acts carelessly, they should be held responsible for the damage they cause.

Most personal injury claims fall under Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 41, which covers civil liability and damages. Common personal injury claims involve car accidents, slip and falls, dog bites, defective products, and other incidents where someone else failed to act with reasonable care.

Personal Injury Cases Sweet James Accident Attorneys Handles

We’ve handled virtually every type of injury case in Las Vegas. Below are some of the most common and serious cases our team fights and wins.

Car accidents

Las Vegas sees thousands of vehicle collisions each year on roads like Tropicana Avenue and U.S. Route 95. We help drivers, passengers, and pedestrians recover after injuries caused by speeding, distracted driving, DUI, and reckless behavior.

Truck accidents

Truck collisions are some of the deadliest crashes on Nevada roads. We pursue claims against trucking companies, drivers, and insurers when poor training, fatigued driving, or failed maintenance causes life-altering injuries.

Motorcycle accidents

Motorcyclists are extremely vulnerable on Las Vegas streets. If a careless driver hits you while lane-changing or pulling out unexpectedly, we’ll fight to hold them accountable and secure the resources you need to heal.

Wrongful death

When someone loses their life due to another party’s negligence, we pursue justice through a wrongful death claim under NRS 41.085. Families can recover compensation for loss of support, funeral costs, and more.

Slip and fall accidents

Injuries caused by unsafe conditions in casinos, restaurants, and stores are far too common. We represent clients injured due to broken flooring, spills, poor lighting, and other hazards.

Pedestrian accidents

Tourists and locals alike face real danger on Las Vegas’s busy intersections. If you were hit by a vehicle while crossing legally, we can help you pursue a claim for compensation.

Bicycle accidents

Bicycle riders struck by negligent drivers often suffer serious injuries. We understand how to pursue maximum compensation and preserve your rights.

Rideshare accidents

Whether you were hit by an Uber or injured as a passenger, rideshare injury claims can be complex. We know how to hold companies and drivers accountable.

Dog bite injuries

Dog owners have a legal responsibility to control dangerous pets. If you or your child was attacked by a dog, we can help you pursue compensation for scarring, emotional trauma, and medical expenses.

Construction accidents

Las Vegas construction zones are hazardous. We represent people injured due to unsafe work conditions, falling debris, or faulty equipment—whether you’re a worker or a bystander.

Product liability

If a defective product injured you, we pursue claims against manufacturers and distributors. These cases can involve anything from auto parts to medical devices.

Birth injuries

Birth injuries often stem from preventable medical errors. We work with families to hold healthcare providers accountable when delivery room negligence causes permanent harm.

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)

TBIs can change your life in an instant. We have extensive experience representing clients who suffer cognitive and emotional impacts from serious head trauma.

Medical malpractice

We hold doctors, hospitals, and clinics accountable when their substandard care leads to lasting harm. These cases are aggressively defended, but our team knows how to build strong claims.

Sexual abuse

Our firm represents survivors of abuse with compassion and strength. We fight to hold individuals and institutions responsible for the trauma they’ve caused.

We Lay Strong Foundations for Personal Injury Cases

If you were injured because someone else acted carelessly, there’s a strong chance you have a valid personal injury claim. Most of these cases are built on negligence, a legal concept that means someone failed to act with the level of care a reasonable person would have used in a similar situation.

To succeed in a personal injury case in Nevada, your lawyer must establish four key elements:

• Duty of care: The at-fault party had a legal responsibility to act with care (e.g., obeying traffic laws or keeping a property safe)
• Breach of duty: They violated that responsibility through action or inaction
• Causation: That breach caused your injuries
• Damages: You suffered physical, emotional, or financial harm as a result

Despite their seeming simplicity, proving these elements requires a thorough investigation, legal strategy, and strong evidence. Any gap in these elements can undermine the strength of your case.

Common Injuries in Las Vegas Personal Injury Cases

Injuries can range from moderate to catastrophic, and even a so-called “minor” injury can have long-term effects. Below are examples of injuries we often see in cases across Las Vegas:

• Spinal cord injuries may lead to partial or full paralysis, requiring lifetime care and assistive equipment
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can impair memory, speech, emotional regulation, and quality of life
• Fractures and broken bones may need surgery, physical therapy, and time away from work
• Internal injuries can be life-threatening and aren’t always immediately detected
• Severe burns can result in permanent disfigurement and require reconstructive surgery
• Soft tissue damage, like whiplash, torn ligaments, or herniated discs, can cause chronic pain

Many clients also suffer from anxiety, depression, and PTSD, especially in cases involving violent collisions or traumatic events. All of this matters. And we account for it in your case valuation.

What Compensation Is Available to Injury Victims in Nevada?

Nevada law allows personal injury victims to seek economic and non-economic damages, a legal term for the various forms of compensation that may be available.

Economic damages

These are the tangible losses with clear dollar amounts:

• Medical expenses (past and future)
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Rehabilitation, physical therapy, and assistive devices
• Property damage (e.g., car repairs)
• Funeral and burial costs in wrongful death cases

Non-economic damages

These are real, but less easily measured:

• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Loss of companionship in fatal injury cases

Wrongful Death

Losing someone you love because of another person’s actions is a tragedy no one should have to endure. When a preventable act takes a life, Nevada law gives surviving family members the right to seek justice through a wrongful death claim:

• Funeral and burial costs
• Loss of financial support and household services
• Loss of companionship, care, and guidance
• Emotional pain and suffering of surviving loved ones

In rare cases, punitive damages may be awarded to punish especially reckless behavior. If your case qualifies, we’ll explain what that means and how it could impact your claim.

Let Us Handle the Insurance Companies

After an accident, you may receive a call from an insurance adjuster offering a fast settlement. That money might seem helpful right now, but it likely represents a fraction of what your claim is actually worth.

Insurance companies are trained to protect their bottom line, not your well-being. They may try to:

• Downplay your injuries
• Blame you for the accident
• Push you to settle before you understand the full impact
• Use your statements against you

We’ve seen these tactics play out hundreds of times. Our attorneys push back hard. We gather medical evidence, calculate full damages, and negotiate from a position of strength. If they won’t pay fairly, we’re ready to take them to court.
