Frequently Asked Questions about Car Accidents in Las Vegas
When clients call or come to the Las Vegas personal injury lawyer offices of Koch & Brim, LLP after an automobile accident, they are looking for answers. How can I get my car fixed? How can I get medical treatment? How can I get a fair settlement from the insurance company? There are different answers for each unique situation.
- Property damage: Our law firm can explain how to make a property damage claim and set the process in motion to get your vehicle repaired quickly.
- No health insurance: You need to seek medical treatment immediately. If you do not have health insurance, contact our law firm. We can arrange treatment with a competent doctor – even with specialists – so that you can get treatment and begin your recovery.
