Most personal injury lawyers (The Ruiz Law Firm included) charge their clients based on contingency. That means that your personal injury lawyer will charge you a percentage of your total payout from a settlement or a verdict – and you won’t pay anything at all until you win.

For very simple cases with only small payouts involved, you may not need the services of a personal injury lawyer. But most personal injury cases are anything but simple. It’s also the case that victims who self-represent usually receive lower payouts than those who hire a personal injury attorney.

If your injury was the fault of another person or entity, you may have a case. However, you’ll need to consult with our personal injury attorney to be sure. Personal injury cases are almost always complex, so you’ll need a top personal injury attorney in your corner.

If you were hurt while you were working, your lawsuit will most likely be a worker’s comp case, not a personal injury case. Our team of the best personal injury lawyers has successfully represented workers comp cases for clients from across Nevada.

That can depend, with the exact time from hiring a personal injury attorney to getting your check, varying for each individual case. For more complex injuries and cases involving larger settlements, the legal process is likely to take longer.

We always aim for the best possible outcome for our clients when they suffer a personal injury, and we can usually do that via an out-of-court settlement. If your case does end up in court, know that we’ll fight for you every inch of the way.

No, not with us. Like most personal injury attorneys, The Ruiz Law Firm works on a contingency basis, which means we won’t charge you anything until your case is won. We know you’ve got enough stress in your life without having to worry about legal fees.

In Nevada, you have only two years in which to file your personal injury case, starting from the date of your accident. You should file your case quickly, because if you miss the deadline, you won’t be able to recover any damages.

It’s hard for any personal injury lawyer to say exactly what your case is worth. However, we can estimate how much you could be able to collect. We base this on maximum legal payouts, your and the at-fault party’s insurance policies, and their assets.

Even if you don’t immediately think you’ve been hurt, you might still have a case. Following your accident, adrenaline may prevent you from realizing the true extent of your injuries. It could be weeks – or even months – until you know exactly how your accident has affected you. That’s why you should always contact a personal injury att
