Why DUI Accident Cases Require an Experienced Reno Injury Lawyer

Typically, DUI accidents involve both civil and criminal elements. While prosecutors handle the criminal charges, you have the right to pursue compensation through a personal injury claim. That’s where we come in.

We handle every aspect of your case, including:

Proving the driver was intoxicated or impaired
Working with crash reconstruction and toxicology experts
Negotiating with insurance companies that often try to shift blame
Seeking punitive damages in addition to medical and financial losses

Don’t Wait – Nevada Has Strict Deadlines

Under Nevada law, you generally have 2 years from the date of the DUI accident to file a personal injury claim. But evidence can disappear fast. The sooner you contact our team, the sooner we can start protecting your rights and building a strong case.

These accidents are preventable, and when they occur, justice must be sought for the victims. Carlson & Work is dedicated to being a voice for those who have suffered as a result of these reckless actions. Contact our Reno DUI accident attorneys today for your free legal consultation.
