Las Vegas Car Accident Lawyer

Whether you've been injured in a car accident by someone else or you have caused a car accident, you need a Las Vegas car accident lawyer like Mr. Rodney K. Okano.

If you've been hurt in accident
When you have been injured in a car accident, you would assume that someone's insurance will pay for it, but that's not always the case. There is a hierarchy of which insurance companies have liability and when, and having an attorney who specializes in car accidents on your side can ensure that you properly navigate the insurance bureaucracy. For example, if the insurance company of the person who caused the accident doesn't offer you enough money to cover your medical costs, you may be able to get money out of your insurance company or, if you were a passenger in the car that was hit, that driver's insurance may be liable for some of your costs. A car accident attorney can help you determine whether this is the case.

If you caused an accident
If you are at fault in an accident, you definitely need a car accident attorney to protect your rights. An attorney can make sure that any criminal charges you face are not excessive and can help you negotiate a plea if you need to.

On the civil side, an attorney can make sure your insurance company takes care of its responsibility for liability to the fullest extent of your policy. If you face a lawsuit for damages beyond what your insurance company covers, your attorney can help represent you in court or negotiate a settlement.

Whatever your role in a car accident, don't go it alone.
