Frequently Asked Questions

You will pay nothing out-of-pocket when you hire an Advocate.  

Your initial consultation with us is always 100% free. There are never any upfront costs or hidden fees.  

Our attorneys work on a contingency basis, which means that our attorney fees are calculated as a percentage of your settlement. We do not get paid unless we win your case, and you receive a settlement.  

For more information on how settlements and payment work, please see our contingency fee information page.

If the accident resulted in injuries or significant property damage, it is a good idea to contact a lawyer. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you navigate the claims process, which can be lengthy and complex.  

Your attorney will gather evidence, keep track of your medical records, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court if necessary.

The best way to know if you have a case is to speak with an attorney. The Advocates offer free consultations—you can speak with a qualified legal team to understand what your case is worth without paying a dime.

Every personal injury case is different. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to accident claims. The length of the claims process will depend on the severity of your injuries, the willingness of the other party to settle, the court’s caseload, and more.  

In general, personal injury cases can take anywhere from several months to a several years. It is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible to get your case started. Each state has a statute of limitations for personal injury cases, after which you will lose your right of action.

When you hire The Advocates, we will begin investigating your accident immediately while you finish medical treatment. Once all evidence and medical records have been compiled, your attorney will send a demand letter to the other party’s insurance company. At this point, negotiations will begin.  

In many cases, a settlement can be reached during negotiations. If the other party refuses to make a fair offer, you may choose to file a suit. In the litigation phase, your attorney will represent you in court in front of a judge, jury, and/or arbitrator.

How to Prevent Drunk Driving

Steps to Take

  • Plan your trip if you intend to drink. Find a designated driver, or be prepared to use a taxi or ride-sharing service to ensure your good times stay good.
  • Don’t let others drive drunk. If someone has been drinking, take their keys and help them get home safely.
  • If you’re hosting a party or other gathering where alcohol will be consumed, make sure you have a plan to get people home safely.
  • Wear your seatbelt. You can’t control what other people do, but you can take steps to protect yourself.

Under no circumstances is it okay to drive under the influence. A DUI accident doesn’t just affect the driver. In fact, the inebriated driver is often harmed the least in such crashes. It is easier than ever to avoid driving under the influence, so make sure you plan to get home safely.

Taking these steps can save lives. You can make a difference and ensure that someone gets home safe.

Why Should I Hire a Las Vegas DUI Injury Attorney?

The decision to operate a motor vehicle while inebriated is among the worst decisions a person can make. The best-case scenario for many people is that the driver is caught. A DUI conviction can lead to driver’s license suspension, jail time, criminal charges, and other far-reaching consequences.

If an inebriated driver is not caught by law enforcement and instead is involved in a crash, the consequences are much worse. Accident victims can suffer serious injuries, leading to endless medical bills, prescription drugs to manage pain, or even wrongful death of a loved one.

The accident attorneys with The Advocates can help you. We understand how difficult it can be to navigate Nevada law, and you shouldn’t have to do so alone. We make sure that Clark County residents feel seen and heard while we traverse the difficulties of the legal system.
