Why are there so many personal injury lawyers in Las Vegas?

If you’ve been in Las Vegas recently, it’s almost guaranteed that you’ve seen at least a dozen of legal ads and personal injury lawyer commercials. At any given time, you’ll see a handful of billboards (including ours), television commercials and radio advertisements. In fact, it is one of the most overwhelming categories of advertisements throughout all of Las Vegas.

Are you going to watch a Vegas Golden Knights Game? One bet you’ll win is the fact that you’ll see personal injury ads. Perhaps you’re going to a school event? It’s probably sponsored by a personal injury lawyer. Shopping for groceries? Your cart will have an injury lawyer’s face on it. We’re everywhere, and yes–it’s annoying. But have you ever stopped to wonder why that is?

Below we will outline a few of the most common reasons why we believe there is such an overwhelming amount of personal injury attorney in Las Vegas.

Whether you’re looking for a personal injury lawyer for yourself or someone you love, you want to be absolutely certain that the decision you make is the right one.

In personal injury cases, you only get one shot at a payout, settlement, or court-appointed compensation. You need to have trust in the attorney you choose because depending on your particular case, you are quite literally putting your life in their hands.

That said, to answer your question of, “Why are there so many injury lawyers in Las Vegas?” Continue reading.

Does Las Vegas Just Have More Personal Injury Cases?

Las Vegas is a city that never sleeps. From our busy nightclubs that stay open until 5am, to the glistening lights that never shut off, with constant activity comes a constant risk of personal injury. With so many visitors and residents walking and driving through the city, are they simply more prone to falling victim to a slip and fall, car accident (based on data from 2022, Las Vegas averages about 55 auto accidents each day), or pedestrian accident, hence the reason for an overwhelming amount of injury lawyers in this city, or is there something else?

(Spoiler alert: there’s something else).

Nevada Is a “Fault” State for Car Accidents

The State of Nevada does not abide by the “no-fault” rule. We are considered a “fault” state.

What that means is an injured victim retains the right to sue the negligent driver who caused a car accident for compensation. Hence another reason why personal injury lawyers flood our State.

In a “no-fault” state, you’re responsible for collecting compensation from your own insurance company. So if you hired a car accident attorney, you’d essentially be suing yourself.

Hence another reason why there are so many personal injury lawyers in Las Vegas, NV.

In a “fault” state, injury victims typically receive compensation for their medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and so on. Most times, the compensation is collected directly from the negligent driver’s insurance company.

If you are hit by an uninsured or underinsured driver, unless you have UM/UIM insurance coverage, your chance of recovering maximum compensation are drastically reduced.

Lawyers throughout the United States have caught wind of this and have actually relocated to Las Vegas to attempt to capitalize on its demanding market and fault laws. Other local lawyers have expanded their law practice to include personal injury in their service offerings… which leads us to the next section.

How to Find the Best Personal Injury Lawyer in Las Vegas for Your Case

Regardless of how you found them, whether it was a personal referral, social media, search engine, or one of those personal injury lawyer commercials on TV… with so many attorneys to choose from, it’s important to thoroughly evaluate the attorney and/or law firm you are hiring prior to signing any paperwork.

Whether you go searching for a “personal injury lawyer near me,” ask friends & family or let your fingers do the walking on social media, finding the right attorney requires some research – and discretion.

Things to consider prior to hiring are as follows:

• What is their fee? The average personal injury law firm in Nevada will take anywhere between 33 and 40 percent.
• What area(s) of law do they practice? As a general rule of thumb, the more exclusive a law firm is to personal injury law, the better chance you have at achieving a full recovery. It’s better to be a master of one trade than a jack of them all, right?
• What do their online reviews look like? Online reviews are a powerful tool that provide complete transparency to the general public regarding the quality of business a person or entity provides. Popular review sites like Google and Yelp! can be a great asset in helping you decide on a law firm.
  • Look at quality, not quantity: Just because a law firm has over 100 reviews does not mean they will provide better service than a law firm with, say, 25. You have to actually read through the reviews to gain a better understanding of who you are hiring. Filter through both the bad and the positive. See what the general consensus is. If even one thing feels alarming, continue on to the next.
• Do they have any open disciplinary actions with the State BAR of Nevada?: The State BAR of Nevada is another great resource for investigating a potential law firm or lawyer. Simply go to the Nvbar.org and conduct a search by the attorney’s name and see whether or not there are any active complaints with the BAR. If there are, I’d suggest moving on to the next.
