As Nevada's population continues to surge, so does the number of car accident claims, but according to the Rodney Okano Car Accident Lawyer Law Firm, these claims are being settled for significantly less than they should be. The Las Vegas-based personal injury firm, with over two decades of experience representing crash victims, says that the boom in claims has attracted large out-of-state firms that treat cases in a 'commercial manner,' prioritizing speed over fair compensation.
'The increase in injury claims has caused Nevada, specifically Las Vegas, to become very attractive for personal injury lawyers,' said a lawyer at the firm. 'This attraction has brought large firms into Las Vegas that treat claims in a commercial manner.'
According to the firm, this commercial approach means settling cases as quickly as possible to maintain a steady cash flow, which is necessary for large firms to sustain their size. However, this often results in victims' injuries not being fully accounted for, cases that should go to trial being settled prematurely, and negotiations aimed at quickly reaching policy limits rather than the highest possible settlement.
The firm's clients have reported feeling confused and uncommunicated with when working with these large firms. The Rodney Okano Car Accident Lawyer Law Firm recommends that anyone who feels this way about their current attorney should explore other options.
For those injured in a car accident in Nevada, the firm offers free consultations and works on a contingency basis, meaning clients pay nothing unless their case is won. More information can be found at www.rodneyokano.com or by calling (702) 566-3600.
