Going through a divorce can be an emotionally taxing experience, but the kindness and patience demonstrated by everyone at Carlson & Work made a world of difference. They took the time to thoroughly understand my situation, providing not just legal advive but also a level of emotional support that was deeply appreciated.

Eren S.

I've got to give some real talk about my attorney, Mathew. At first, he might come off a bit rough around the edges, and I won't lie, it took me a minute to get used to it. But, as time went on, I started to truly appreciate that side of him. It's like his no-nonsense approach is actually one of his strengths. He cuts through the fluff, gets down to business, and genuinely has your back. Weirdly enough, I've come to love that about him. If you want someone straightforward and fiercely on your side, Mathew's the real deal.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind words and taking the time to share this!

Louis D.

I've got to share about my experience with my custody attorney, Lauren. Going through a custody battle is never easy, but Lauren was a true anchor throughout. She didn't just feed me legal jargon or false promises. She was honest from the get-go, even when the truth was hard to swallow. And you know how sometimes it feels like you're in the dark with legal stuff? Not with Lauren. She made sure I was always in the loop and understood each step. It felt like I had a friend guiding me, someone genuinely on my side. If you're diving into the maze of custody battles and need a steady hand, Lauren is the one you'd want by your side. She's been a godsend.

Response from the owner:We agree, Lauren ROCKS!

Alessandro S.

The whole time we worked together, he kept things real and was straight-up honest, no sugarcoating. It felt like having a knowledgeable friend on my side, guiding me through everything. If you're looking for someone down-to-earth and trustworthy, Mathew's your guy. So glad I found him.

Response from the owner:Mr. Work.. WORKS really hard to help all his clients. Thank you!

Lauren Driscoll stands out as an exemplary attorney in the realm of family law. Her intelligence and keen understanding of the intricacies of the legal system are commendable.

With Lauren, I felt informed, empowered, and confident at every turn. I can’t express enough gratitude for her guidance and support throughout the entire process. Highly recommended!

Response from the owner:Isn't she great! We are very grateful for your kind words.

Our Personal Injury Attorneys Fight For Maximum Compensation

If you’ve suffered a brain injury, you have a lot of questions. Who’s liable for your injuries? How can you get compensation for your pain and suffering? What should you do next?

Our personal injury attorneys have the answers. We’ll fight for maximum compensation in your case so that you can get the treatment and support you need. Let’s take a look at some of the important questions that come up in brain injury cases:

What To Do After Suffering a Brain Injury

Seek Medical Attention

When you have suffered a traumatic brain injury or other type of head trauma, you may not remember what happened or what caused your injury. You may not even realize that you need medical attention until the symptoms of your head injury start to show themselves. The first thing you should do if you’ve been in an accident is call 911 immediately.

Next, get checked out by a doctor as soon as possible. Your doctor will determine whether or not you suffered any injuries and how significant they might be. Your doctor may be able to diagnose you right away or send you to a specialist for additional exams.

Maintain all medical and treatment records and any expenses you incur during your recovery. This is important because it paints a picture of how much your medical treatments cost and how much they can be should treatments continue into the future.

Gather Evidence from the Incident

Find out who was responsible for causing your injury. If you were hurt in an accident that wasn’t your fault, then you may be able to file a lawsuit against the responsible party. Gather evidence about what happened leading up to your accident. Take photographs and written statements from witnesses who saw what happened firsthand.

Get Experienced Legal Assistance

Lastly, seek out an experienced attorney if your injury was the result of another person’s negligence. Nevada has a statute of limitations on filing personal injury cases. This law outlines a timeframe for how long you have to file a claim after being injured. If not filed in a timely manner, there may be no recourse available for recovery of damages.

How to Determine if a Responsible Party was at Fault for my Accident

To determine whether a responsible party was at fault for your accident and subsequent injuries, you must prove the following:

The responsible party committed an act that caused your injury.
Their actions were either negligent or intentional. In other words, they knew or should have known about the danger associated with their behavior (e.g., driving while intoxicated).
The party’s negligent actions caused your suffering which resulted in damages.

What is Nevada Comparative Negligence?

Nevada comparative negligence law states that if one person is more at fault than another, their damages will be reduced accordingly. For example, if the defendant was found to be 50% responsible for the accident, he or she may only receive 50% of what they would have otherwise received had there been no negligence.

How to Recover Compensation for a Brain Injury Case

The first step to recovering damages is to file a brain injury claim against the responsible party. This is the process of collecting evidence that proves your injury and its effects, as well as proving that the other party was at fault. You should expect the insurance company will try to deny responsibility for your injuries. And, if your case goes to court, it will be up to a jury or judge to decide whether or not you deserve compensation.

How to File a Brain Injury Claim

Filing a claim is the first step toward receiving the compensation you deserve for your injuries. Contact our Nevada brain injury attorneys and request a consultation with one of our experienced personal injury professionals. We’ll discuss your case in detail and walk through your options for filing a claim. Our attorney will advise you on how best to proceed with your case if you choose not to file a lawsuit against the responsible party.
