Common Questions
Get immediate answers to your most pressing legal concerns.
What is the deadline for filing a personal injury lawsuit in Nevada?
In Nevada, you generally have two years from the date of your injury or accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, under Nevada Revised Statutes § 11.190. This is known as the statute of limitations. Missing this deadline can result in your case being dismissed—regardless of how strong your evidence is or how serious your injuries are.
There are some important exceptions to be aware of:
Wrongful death claims usually must be filed within two years from the date of death.
Medical malpractice cases may follow different timelines depending on when the injury was discovered.
Claims against government agencies typically require a formal notice to be filed within 90 days of the incident.
At The Paul Powell Law Firm, we move quickly to make sure deadlines don’t get in the way of your recovery. Some cases involve special circumstances that can affect how much time you have to file, which is why it’s important to speak with a lawyer early on. Our team will evaluate your situation, handle the legal timelines, and fight to get you the compensation you deserve—so you can focus on healing while we focus on results.
Can I recover compensation for medical bills and lost income after an injury?
Yes, if you were injured because of someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to recover compensation for both your medical bills and lost income. In Nevada, personal injury law allows injured individuals to pursue damages for the full cost of their medical treatment—this includes emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation, and any future medical expenses related to the injury. You can also seek compensation for wages lost while you were unable to work, as well as future income you might lose if your injuries affect your ability to earn a living long-term.
The Paul Powell Law Firm works with injured clients in Nevada to accurately calculate the full value of these damages and pursue the maximum recovery available. We understand that mounting bills and missed paychecks can disrupt your life, which is why our team fights to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve—so you can focus on healing, not financial stress.
Am I still eligible for compensation if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Yes, in Nevada, you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault for the accident, thanks to the state’s modified comparative negligence laws. You can recover damages as long as you are not more than 50% responsible, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are 30% at fault, your damages award will be reduced by 30%, so you would receive 70% of the total damages. However, if your fault exceeds 50%, you generally cannot recover compensation.
At The Paul Powell Law Firm, we carefully assess each client’s situation to determine fault percentages and fight to minimize your share of responsibility. Our goal is to maximize your recovery and ensure you are fairly compensated for your injuries, regardless of partial fault.
How is the value of my personal injury case determined?
The value of a personal injury case in Nevada depends on several key factors, including the severity of your injuries, the cost of your medical treatment, and the impact the injury has had on your life. This includes both economic damages—like medical bills, lost income, and future care costs—and non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Other important considerations may include:
- The extent of property damage
- Whether the injury led to long-term or permanent disability
- How clearly liability can be proven
- Whether comparative fault plays a role in reducing your compensation
At The Paul Powell Law Firm, we take a detailed, evidence-based approach to evaluating each case. Our team works closely with medical professionals, financial experts, and investigators to calculate the full impact of your injuries—both now and in the future. With over $250 million recovered for injury victims, we know how to fight for every dollar you’re owed.
Is hiring a personal injury lawyer necessary to pursue my claim?
Technically, no—you’re not required by law to hire an attorney to file a personal injury claim in Nevada. But having an experienced personal injury lawyer on your side can make a significant difference. Insurance companies have teams working to limit how much they pay. Without legal guidance, it’s easy to undervalue your claim, miss key deadlines, or settle for far less than you deserve.
An attorney can help you:
- Accurately calculate your damages
- Gather evidence and build a strong case
Negotiate with insurance companies - Navigate complex legal procedures
- Represent you in court, if necessary
At The Paul Powell Law Firm, we don’t just focus on big results—we focus on fair ones. Paul personally promises never to take more money than you at the end of your case, and he puts that promise in writing. With over $250 million recovered and a reputation for standing up to insurance companies, we fight to get you the compensation you deserve—without the lawyer getting rich at your expense.
Will my personal injury case require a court trial, or can it be settled?
Most personal injury cases in Nevada are resolved through settlements, not trials. In fact, it’s common for both parties—especially insurance companies—to prefer reaching an agreement outside of court to save time, money, and uncertainty. A strong, well-prepared case can often lead to a fair settlement offer without ever stepping into a courtroom.
That said, some cases do go to trial—especially when:
- Liability is disputed
- The insurance company refuses to offer a fair amount
- Complex legal or medical issues are involved
- A jury verdict may result in significantly higher compensation
At The Paul Powell Law Firm, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial, because that’s what gets the best results—even during settlement negotiations. With over $250 million recovered and more than 75 verdicts or settlements over $1 million, Paul is known for taking cases all the way when needed. If the offer isn’t fair, we won’t back down—we’ll fight for what you truly deserve, whether that means negotiating or stepping into court.
What are the typical attorney fees and costs in a personal injury lawsuit?
Most personal injury lawyers—including those in Nevada—work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they recover money for you. The typical fee is a percentage of your settlement or verdict, often around 33% to 40%, depending on how far the case progresses. In addition to attorney fees, there may be other case-related costs, such as court filing fees, expert witnesses, or medical record retrieval.
However, at The Paul Powell Law Firm, we take a different approach. Unlike many injury lawyers who end up taking more than the client, Paul promises—in writing—that you’ll never receive less money than your lawyer at the end of your case. It’s a guarantee designed to protect you, not pad the firm’s profits.
With over $250 million recovered and a reputation for fairness, The Paul Powell Law Firm delivers big results without big lawyer fees. If you’ve been injured, we’ll make sure your recovery is financially worth it—because fairness isn’t just a slogan here. It’s our promise.

What are the first steps I should take after a personal injury accident?
Taking the right steps immediately after a personal injury accident is crucial for your health and your case. First, prioritize your safety and seek medical attention—even if injuries seem minor at first. Some injuries may not show symptoms immediately but can become serious later.
Next, collect as much information as possible at the scene: take photos of the accident, exchange contact and insurance details with other parties involved, and get names and contact info of any witnesses. Avoid admitting fault or giving detailed statements to insurance adjusters before consulting a lawyer.
At The Paul Powell Law Firm, we have nearly two decades of experience helping Las Vegas clients navigate these complex situations. We act quickly to preserve evidence, protect your rights, and make sure important deadlines are met. Our team is dedicated to guiding you through every step, so you can focus on recovery while we handle the legal work. With over $250 million recovered for our clients, you can trust Paul Powell to fight aggressively on your behalf from day one.
Whose insurance pays for my damages after a personal injury?
Whose insurance pays for your damages after a personal injury depends on the circumstances of your case and the types of insurance policies involved. Generally, the at-fault party’s liability insurance is responsible for covering your medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages caused by their negligence. However, if the at-fault party does not have insurance or does not have enough coverage, your own insurance policy—such as uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage—may help cover the remaining costs.
At The Paul Powell Law Firm, we carefully review all insurance policies involved and guide you through the claims process. Our experienced team works to ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve, no matter which insurance policy applies.
