Bigger. Faster. Settlements.
Hurt in a Las Vegas car accident? The insurance company is already working to pay you as little as possible. Kyle gives your case his undivided attention and a relentless push, which causes your settlement to come back bigger, and faster.
One bad crash should not cost you the rest.
A car accident in Las Vegas can upend everything in seconds. Medical bills start before you leave the emergency room, you miss work, and the at-fault driver's insurance company is already building a file to pay you as little as it can. You did not cause this. You should not be the one who pays for it.
As a Las Vegas car accident lawyer, Kyle Cottner has recovered more than $100 million for injured people, including an $11.8 million result in a single rear-end collision. He takes a smaller number of cases than the billboard firms on purpose, because the way you get a bigger, faster settlement is undivided attention to your case, not a pipeline that processes you and moves on.
You will work directly with Kyle. You get his cell number, straight answers, and a lawyer the insurance companies know will take the case to trial if they will not pay what it is worth. The consultation is free, and you pay nothing unless he wins.
What to do after a car accident in Las Vegas.
The hours and days after a collision shape what your claim is worth. A few steps protect both your health and your case.
Call 911 and get checked out
Report the crash and accept medical evaluation, even if you feel okay. Adrenaline hides injuries, and a gap in treatment is the first thing the insurance company uses to discount your claim.
Document everything you can
Photos of the vehicles, the scene, and your injuries. Names and numbers of the other driver and any witnesses. The police report number. More evidence means more leverage.
Do not give a recorded statement
The other driver's insurer will call fast and sound friendly. You are not required to give a recorded statement, and you should not, until you have spoken with a lawyer.
Call Kyle before you settle anything
The first offer is almost never the real number. One call, free, tells you what your case is actually worth before you sign away your rights for a fraction of it.
Every kind of Las Vegas collision.
Rear-End Crashes
The classic "you should have stopped" case, often with hidden neck and back injuries the insurer tries to wave off.
Intersection & Left-Turn
Disputed-fault collisions on the valley's busiest intersections, where the right evidence decides who pays.
Drunk & Reckless Drivers
When a driver chose to put you in danger, that can open the door to punitive damages on top of your losses.
Hit-and-Run & Uninsured
If the at-fault driver fled or has no coverage, your own uninsured-motorist policy may be the path to recovery.
Distracted Driving
Texting and phone use cause a large share of Las Vegas crashes. Phone records can prove exactly what happened.
Uber & Lyft Accidents
Rideshare crashes layer multiple insurance policies. Knowing which one applies is the difference in your recovery.
Commercial & Truck
Delivery vans, big rigs, and tow trucks bring bigger insurance and bigger fights. Kyle has won both.
Catastrophic & Fatal
Serious injuries and wrongful death demand a lawyer who builds the case for full lifetime value, not a quick close.
What the law gives you here.
Nevada has its own rules for car accident claims. A few of them decide whether and how much you can recover.
Two years to file
Nevada generally gives you two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim. Miss it and your case can be barred for good, so do not wait to call.
Partial fault is still a case
Under Nevada's comparative negligence rule, you can recover as long as you are not more at fault than the other side. Being partly to blame does not end your claim.
Nevada is an at-fault state
The driver who caused the crash, and their insurance, is responsible for your damages. Nevada is not a no-fault state, which means you can pursue the at-fault driver directly.
Minimum coverage is low
Nevada's minimum liability limits are modest, so serious injuries can exceed the at-fault driver's policy. Your own underinsured-motorist coverage often becomes the key to full recovery.
This is general information about Nevada law, not legal advice, and the rules have exceptions. Kyle will tell you exactly how they apply to your crash.
The full cost of the crash, not a fraction.
Medical Bills
Emergency care, surgery, imaging, therapy, and the future treatment your injuries will still require.
Lost Income
Wages you missed, plus your reduced ability to earn if the injury follows you back to work.
Pain & Suffering
The physical pain, the limits on your life, and the toll the crash takes day to day. Real losses the insurer wants to ignore.
Property & More
Vehicle damage, out-of-pocket costs, and, where a driver acted egregiously, punitive damages.
Two things a billboard cannot buy.
What full value looks like.
A track record built on auto and collision cases. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome, but they show what relentless preparation can do.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case turns on its own facts.
What clients say.
Kyle was the most attentive and professional lawyer I have ever worked with. I was hit at a red light, was referred to Kyle, and could not have asked for a better lawyer to help me settle my case. Thank you!
Kyle took great care of my wife and I after a car accident. Special treatment for my pregnant wife, as well as a speedy payout. I would recommend this firm to everyone!
Best experience you can have. My case was handled swiftly and with complete transparency. Very professional while also being very personable. Highly recommend and will definitely use Kyle Cottner again if ever needed.
Questions people ask after a crash.
Call 911, get medical attention even if you feel fine, photograph the scene and vehicles, get the other driver's information and any witnesses, and do not give the other insurer a recorded statement. Then call a lawyer before you accept anything.
Nevada generally allows two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim. Some situations change that, so the safest move is to call early while evidence is fresh.
Often, yes. If you carry uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, that policy can step in. Kyle handles these claims regularly, including against your own insurer when it stalls.
Not before you talk to a lawyer. The insurance company's job is to pay you less, and an early recorded statement is one of its favorite tools. Let Kyle handle the communication.
You may still recover. Nevada lets you be compensated as long as you are not more at fault than the other side. Do not assume you have no case because someone said part of it was on you.
It depends on your injuries, treatment, lost income, and the strength of the liability evidence. Most people are owed more than the first offer. Kyle gives you a straight number after reviewing the facts, for free.
For a minor scratch, maybe not. But once there are injuries, the insurer's offer almost always rises with a trial-ready lawyer involved, and studies consistently show represented clients recover more even after fees.
Nothing up front. Kyle works on contingency, so the fee comes out of the recovery, and there is no fee at all unless he wins money for you.
Find out what your crash is worth.
Tell Kyle what happened. The consultation is free, there is no obligation, and you pay nothing unless he wins your case.
