Before You Call
Common questions, answered
Nevada's statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the injury (NRS 11.190(4)(e)). Missing that deadline typically bars you from recovering anything, so it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after a TBI — even if your symptoms seem mild at first.
Doctors most often use the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), which scores eye, verbal, and motor responses to classify a TBI as mild (GCS 13–15), moderate (GCS 9–12), or severe (GCS 3–8). They may also order a CT scan or MRI and neuropsychological testing. Importantly, a mild TBI can still cause serious, lasting symptoms even when imaging looks normal — which is one reason these claims need experienced legal and medical support.
Yes. Mild traumatic brain injuries, including many concussions, often do not show up on a standard CT scan or MRI even when a person has real, ongoing symptoms such as headaches, memory problems, or mood changes. That is why a documented medical baseline, neuropsychological testing, and consistent treatment records matter so much — they help establish the injury when imaging alone does not.
A severe TBI can require medical care, therapy, and personal assistance for years or even decades, so the future costs frequently dwarf the immediate hospital bills. To value the claim accurately, attorneys work with a life-care planner to project those future-care needs and an economist to calculate their present-day value, alongside lost earning capacity and pain and suffering. We do not promise any specific result, but building the full future-cost picture is essential so a settlement reflects what you will actually need.
Depending on severity, a TBI can lead to lasting cognitive issues like memory and concentration problems, chronic headaches, mood disorders such as depression or anxiety, sleep disturbances, personality changes, and in some cases post-traumatic seizures. Because these effects can be permanent and may not fully appear for weeks, prompt medical evaluation and ongoing documentation are critical for both your health and your claim.
Nevada follows modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar (NRS 41.141). As long as you are found 50% or less at fault, you can still recover compensation, though your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. An attorney can help document the other party's role in the accident to protect your recovery.
Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage on your own policy can step in to cover your losses when the at-fault driver lacks adequate insurance. Nevada's minimum liability limits of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident can be exhausted quickly in a severe TBI case, so identifying every available source of coverage is a critical early step.
At The Ruiz Law Firm, nothing up front. We handle traumatic brain injury cases on contingency: the consultation is free, and you pay no attorney fee unless we recover money for you. The fee comes out of the settlement or verdict, so hiring a TBI lawyer does not require any out-of-pocket payment.
Concussion claims often need a lawyer more, not less. Because mild TBIs usually leave normal CT and MRI scans, insurers routinely dispute that the injury exists at all. An attorney can coordinate the neuropsychological testing and medical documentation that establish an imaging-negative concussion, and push back when an adjuster dismisses real symptoms because the scan was clean.
