Legal Question in Personal Injury in Nevada
Compensation for an automobile accident
I was involved in an auto accident where I was hit by a person running a red light. I have a bit of soreness in my neck, and a passenger with a rather big, and painful bruise on her leg. The other driver is contesting that the light wasn't red, and I have 2 witnesses that saw that it was red and she also recieved a citation for the infraction. Because she says that it wasnt red I am having to now prove that she ran the light. This is acctually quite a pain and a difficult thing for me because i have a full time job and attend college full time. My question is should i ask the insurance company for any compensation above and beyond the repair cost, and what sort of transprotation are they required to provide for me while my vehicle is being repaired.

Re: Nevada Automobile Accident Matter
Dear Sir or Madam:
We have reviewed the e-mail material.
The insurance company's primary obligation is to settle claims against its insured
in the best interests of the insured, the insurer and its other policyholders and
stockholders, and not you.
Please be advised that every state, including the State of Nevada, provides a
specific Statute of Limitations for every claim. This is the period of time within which
you must file your lawsuit, if at all. If you do not file your claim within the
prescribed period of time, your claim will be forever barred. Since we have not been
engaged to render an opinion as to when the applicable limitations period expires
concerning your claim, we urge you to immediately hire other counsel.
Thank you very much for your confidence in our abilities and for the opportunity to
be of service. No case material will be returned to its source, or elsewhere, unless
you direct otherwise.
Sincerely,
Paul J. Malikowski
