Not necessarily. It all depends on the discretion of the court. You can file a request to appear remotely and the court will either deny or approve this request. If you have a good reason and you gave enough notice, you may be allowed. If your case ends up as a trial or involves certain crimes, you may be denied remote appearance and be required to attend in-person. Katie Goldberg can help you understand what your options are if you live out of state so you can prepare for whatever happens.

Yes! Just because the casino says the accident was your fault, does not mean that it was. Or maybe you hold some of the fault, but the state of Nevada will still allow you to file a claim or lawsuit. If you are partly at fault, your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of fault you carry. However, it may still be worth a lawsuit to recover a certain percentage of damages. Our lawyers have experience handling complex cases where multiple parties are at fault. Let us coach you through and negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get the compensation you deserve!

There is no solid answer to this question as it all depends on the complexity of the case, whether it is disputed, and how severe the injuries are. Generally, simple cases where there is clear liability, minor injuries, and cooperative casino insurers, can be resolved within a few months. In most cases, where there is some dispute as to who is at fault, and medical treatment is ongoing, the case can take 6 months to a year to resolve. Very serious cases can take 1 to 2 years or more. Your lawyer will have a better understanding of how long it will take based on your specific circumstances.

Yes! You absolutely can sue if a bouncer or security guard caused your injury. However, in order to have a valid claim, the at-fault party must have used excessive force, continued to use force after you were under control, physically restrained you improperly, violated casino policy, or mistook you for someone else. If you are unsure whether or not you have a claim, bring you evidence and tell your lawyer exactly what happened and they can help you determine a path forward.

When personal injury accidents happen at a tribal casino, the process of filing a claim can be different. These casinos are operated by Native American tribes which are sovereign governments. This means you are generally unable to sue them in state court. However, most tribal casinos have their own injury claim system with a specific claims process. You must follow the tribe’s claim process in order to be compensated for your injuries. At Goldberg Injury Law, we have knowledge and experience handling cases in these circumstances. Hire us right away to get started.

Yes you can! Though, the fact that you were drinking will affect the compensation you can recover. The casino’s insurance company will use this fact to fight hard against your claim. You will likely be given some amount of fault, reducing your end settlement. If you were injured at a casino while you were drinking, you should absolutely hire an attorney as your case will be more complex and it will be harder to get the maximum compensation without professional help.
