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.

I can't say enough about Kathleen Mangan and her team. I had a very difficult divorce situation which included needing a protection order and from the first moment I contacted Kathleen and her team, my anxiety was reduced. Not only did it take a fraction of the time I expected it to, the communication I received the entire time was top notch. She empowered me to be strong and do what was necessary to cross the finish line successfully while at the same time ensuring my safety. If you need an attorney who will ensure your best interests are at the forefront, who will take the time to educate you along the way on what your responsibility is and who truly has the expertise needed to successfully navigate the judicial system requirements effectively, then you want Kathleen and her team. Worth every penny and they will be on my list of my things to be thankful for every year from this point on! I wish they had a scale that went higher than 5 star here - Kathleen and her team more than exceeded my expectations and I would give them a million stars!

Response from the owner:Thank you, Janet! You were such a joy to work with and the entire staff adores you!

I want to take a moment out and thank Rebecca Carlson for the hard work and loyalty that she showed my family for the last year. We had hard days and we had easy days, but in the end, you stayed by my side and fought with me throughout the entire case. You didn’t give up on my family or me and in the end we did it! Thank you, Rebecca. My family and I could not be happier.

Mathew, Rebecca and Kathleen all assisted on my case at one point with ultimately Rebecca going to court with me. I can tell you from firsthand experience, this attorney knows what she is doing! Watching the other attorneys in court, compared to her, made it obvious that she simply in a league of her own. Don’t think twice, call Carlson Work.
