For over 26 years, Eric Blank Injury Attorneys has fought to get crash victims the recovery those insurers don't want to pay. Free consultation, and no fees unless we win.

First Steps
What To Do After A Car Accident In Las Vegas
The first hours after a crash shape your entire claim. Here's how to protect yourself and your case.
- 1
Get To Safety
If you can move, get yourself and your vehicle out of traffic. Then check yourself and your passengers for injuries before doing anything else.
- 2
Call 911
Always report the crash. On Las Vegas surface streets, Metro Police respond; on the highways and I-15, it's Nevada Highway Patrol. The police report becomes key evidence in your claim.
- 3
Document Everything
Photograph the vehicles, the scene, road conditions, and any visible injuries. Collect the other driver's insurance and license details, plus names and numbers of any witnesses.
- 4
See A Doctor
Get checked even if you feel fine — adrenaline hides injuries, and soft-tissue and brain injuries often surface days later. A gap in treatment is the first thing insurers use against you.
- 5
Don't Talk To Their Insurer
The other driver's insurance company will call fast and sound friendly. They are not on your side. Don't give a recorded statement or accept a quick offer — refer them to your attorney.
- 6
Call An Attorney First
Before you sign anything or accept any settlement, talk to a lawyer. Once you accept an offer you can't reopen the claim — even if your injuries turn out worse than you thought.
Our Approach
How Eric Blank Injury Attorneys Handles Car Accident Cases
Eric Blank spent the early part of his career defending insurance companies. We bring that insider knowledge to every car accident claim — the same edge we apply across our personal injury practice .
Investigate The Crash
We move fast to preserve evidence — traffic-camera footage, scene photos, vehicle data, and witness statements — before it disappears or memories fade.
Build The Medical Record
We work directly with your doctors to document every injury, current and future, so the full cost of the crash is on paper — not guessed at.
Negotiate With Insurance
Eric Blank spent years on the insurance-defense side. We know how adjusters value claims and where they cut corners — and we use it to push for a fair settlement.
Try The Case If Needed
Insurance companies settle harder when they know your attorney will take them to trial. We prepare every case as if it's going in front of a jury.
Damages
What Car Accident Victims Can Recover In Nevada
Nevada law lets injury victims recover compensatory damages — both the concrete financial losses and the human cost of the crash. In rare cases involving especially reckless conduct, punitive damages may also apply.
Economic Damages
- Medical bills — past and future treatment
- Lost wages and reduced future earning capacity
- Property damage to your vehicle
- Out-of-pocket costs — transportation, prescriptions, and more
Non-Economic Damages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Loss of consortium
Nevada caps damages in medical malpractice cases but not in general personal injury claims. The amount you can recover depends on the specifics of your case — a free consultation is the best way to get a real answer.
Nevada Law
Key Nevada Car Accident Laws
Statute of Limitations
Nevada gives you 2 years from the date of the accident to file a car accident lawsuit (NRS 11.190). Miss that deadline and your claim is gone — no matter how strong it was.
Comparative Negligence
Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you are 51% or more at fault you recover nothing; if you are partly at fault but under that, your recovery is reduced by your share.
Insurance Minimums
Nevada requires drivers to carry at least 25/50/20 liability coverage (NRS 485.185). Many carry only the minimum — which is exactly why uninsured / underinsured motorist coverage matters so much.
This is general information, not legal advice for your specific case. Talk to an attorney about the facts of your accident.
FAQ
Common Car Accident Questions
How much does it cost to hire a car accident lawyer?
Our fee is contingency-based — no upfront cost and no hourly billing. We only get paid if we win your case, and the fee is a percentage of your settlement, agreed to in writing before we start.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Nevada?
Two years from the date of the accident, under NRS 11.190. There are very few exceptions, so the sooner you speak with an attorney, the better. Don't wait.
Should I talk to the other driver's insurance company?
No. They are not on your side, and anything you say can be used to reduce or deny your claim. Politely refer them to your attorney and let us handle that conversation.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
You can still recover in Nevada as long as you are 50% or less at fault — your recovery is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. We've handled many cases where shared fault wasn't the obstacle the insurance company tried to make it.
How long will my case take?
It depends on the case. Straightforward claims can resolve in a few months. Cases with serious injuries, contested liability, or a trial typically take longer — six to eighteen months is common. We never trade speed for the value of your claim.
Do I have to go to court?
Most cases settle without ever going to trial. But insurance companies pay more when they know your attorney is willing and able to try the case — and Eric Blank is.
I had terrible injuries as a result of the accident I had and hiring Eric Blank to be on my side during this difficult process was the best thing I did.
