Loss of consortium<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nPunitive Damages<\/h3>\n
Punitive damages are only awarded in a small percentage of cases. These damages differ from those mentioned above in that they are not awarded to replace losses suffered by a pedestrian accident victim. Instead, punitive damages serve as a punishment for the at-fault party. Punitive damages are only assessed when the actions of the liable party were criminally negligent.<\/p>\n
Make Sure to File Your Pedestrian Accident Lawsuit on Time<\/h2>\n
In Nevada, the statute of limitations for filing a pedestrian accident lawsuit is two years. However, you should be aware that many things can alter this timeline. Special circumstances in your case could enable you to still file a lawsuit after this two-year period has passed. Alternatively, conditions could significantly shorten the amount of time you have to file.<\/p>\n
In order to ensure that your lawsuit is filed on time, you should hire an experienced pedestrian accident attorney as soon as possible after suffering an injury. Your lawyer will be able to identify anything about your case that could affect the statute of limitations and ensure that all deadlines are met.<\/p>\n
Pedestrian Accident Attorneys Get Paid for Results<\/h2>\n
Many people make the mistake of not hiring a pedestrian accident lawyer to help them with their case because they are worried they will not be able to afford to do so. While it is true that many attorneys charge their clients very high hourly rates, this is not the case with pedestrian accident attorneys.<\/p>\n
When you hire a pedestrian accident lawyer, you will agree to pay them a fixed percentage of the money you recover from the liable party at the end of your case. This is the only fee that your attorney will collect for their services.<\/p>\n
Under this setup, if your lawyer fails to get you money from the liable party, they don\u2019t get paid. On the other hand, your lawyer could be in for a big payday if you receive significant compensation. Either way, you will never have to worry about paying your attorney as their fee is collected directly from the money you recover.<\/p>\n
