LAS VEGAS, NV — As Nevada’s population has surged, so has the number of car accident claims, but according to a local law firm, these claims are increasingly being settled for less than they are worth. The Rodney Okano Car Accident Lawyer Law Firm, a Las Vegas-based personal injury practice with over two decades of experience, says the rise in claims has attracted large out-of-state firms that treat cases in a “commercial manner,” leading to inadequate settlements for victims.
“The increase in injury claims has caused Nevada, specifically Las Vegas, to become very attractive for personal injury lawyers,” said a lawyer at the firm. “This attraction has brought large firms into Las Vegas that treat claims in a commercial manner.”
According to the firm, this commercial approach means settling cases as quickly as possible to maintain a steady cash flow, a necessity for large firms to sustain their size. However, this often results in victims’ injuries not being fully accounted for, claims that should go to trial being settled prematurely, and negotiations aimed at quick policy limit settlements rather than the highest possible compensation.
Clients who have worked with these large firms have described their experiences as confusing and uncommunicative, the firm noted. They recommend that any victim who feels this way about their current attorney explore other options.
The Rodney Okano firm, founded by Rodney Okano, Esq. in 2001, has represented thousands of clients in Nevada, recovering millions in settlements for car, truck, bus, and motorcycle accidents. They offer free consultations for anyone injured in a car accident and work on a contingency basis, meaning clients pay nothing unless their case is won.
