Personal Injury
It is devastating to become involved in an accident or to suffer an injury due to negligence or wrongdoing. Victims and surviving family members not only have to cope with life-changing injuries, painful recoveries or overwhelming grief, but medical bills can quickly get out of control, especially if the injury makes work impossible.
The laws in Las Vegas mandate that no injured victims should suffer financial harm because of accidents caused by negligence or wrongdoing. The law also entitles victims and family members to compensation for non-financial losses such as lost companionship or pain and suffering. To obtain the compensation the law provides, however, you need to take legal action. A Las Vegas personal injury attorney at Hofland & Tomsheck will help.

What Types of Personal Injury Cases Can Be Brought in Las Vegas?
Las Vegas law entitles you to compensation any time you are harmed by someone else’s careless actions or by someone else violating a safety law. You can make a claim against individuals, companies, product manufacturers, hospitals and health care providers, and even government agencies.
At Hofland & Tomsheck, our attorneys have represented clients harmed by many types of accidents and mishaps. Some of the different claims our attorneys handle include:
With every case, we have extensive knowledge of the law and of how insurance companies, judges and juries respond to claims. We will help to gather evidence, make a compelling case, negotiate a settlement or prove your claim to a jury.
The goal of our Las Vegas personal injury attorneys is to get you the full amount of compensation that you deserve based on your injuries so you can get the care you need and so you can have the best life possible despite your accident.
How Can I Make a Las Vegas Personal Injury Claim?
While Las Vegas law promises accident victims that they can be “made whole,” or fully compensated for losses, it is up to victims to pursue legal action for their injuries. You have a limited amount of time to make your claim and you must take legal action to recover damages.
Claims can be made against individuals, companies or government officials that cause your injury. In some cases, there may be multiple defendants that could be held accountable, such as a negligent truck driver as well as the trucking company that employed the driver. A Hofland & Tomsheck personal injury lawyer will help you identify all parties responsible for your injuries and will file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit on your behalf against the appropriate defendants. You’ll have the burden of proving your case in court.
Many claims are resolved through an out-of-court settlement, which occurs when the defendant or his or her insurance company accepts that a jury is likely to find them responsible and makes an offer of compensation to you. You should never agree to a settlement that isn’t reviewed by a lawyer since a settlement agreement is final and suing after you sign is no longer possible.
