Written for victims of automobile accident collisions and those who represent them in court, this book describes the concepts and real world practicalities that go into understanding and successfully navigating the various aspects of car accident injury claims, with particular emphasis on the real world side of things. These are the important things you did not learn in law school, or, from self help guide truly "written for dummies." The author has practiced law for nearly 40 years in Las Vegas, and is a former president of the Nevada Trial Lawyers Association, as well as being an honors graduate of Stanford University. Although applicable to the subject in general, the book is aimed in particular at the handling of motor vehicle injury claims in Las Vegas, Nevada. Any practitioner who has not handled auto accident cases for less than 5 years in Las Vegas, or, any claimant wishing to better understand the mysterious workings of the system in which they find themselves involved, will find that this book helps clear the various 'mysteries.' You will probably not agree with how everything works in the system, but, if you read this book, you will come away understanding how all the various pieces fit together. You will also come away knowing what are the various myths and pieces of urban folklore that frequently mislead layperson's understanding of what is and what is not truly important in these cases; what jurors like and dislike, and why; what insurance companies value and what they do not; among other things. Topics covered include how to pick an attorney; the basic medicine of common injuries; how to choose health care professionals; how insurance companies evaluate claims; how juries evaluate claims; the basics of reimbursement and other 'liens' on cases; a description of all the various stages of litigation; and where to get further information on topics of interest. All of this is written from the perspective of an attorney who has handled thousands of auto collision claims over the years, and who has tried over a hundred civil jury trials; and who, based on his experience, has learned what are, truly, the things that matter and the things that don't matter when it comes down to the 'nitty gritty' of it all. The idea, when the book the book was written, was: when we hire a brand new attorney, or brand new legal assistant or paralegal in the office, I want you to read this book before you do anything else, so that everyone can be on the same page as to what matters and what doesn't matter doing these cases. What you learned at law school, or in paralegal school, or, even, working at an insurance company law firm, isn't going to be of much use in the 'real world' of the plaintiff's side of the case; this book is going to boil down for you what it took 40 years of real world experience to learn, the 'hard way.' As a client, this is going to educate you as to why and how we do things the way we do, and it will, hopefully, help you cut through the non sense you hear down at the barber shop or on the internet, or where ever else 'fake news' and urban myths are shared.
