Yes, the initial consultation is free of charge.

There is no need for a payment plan since we do not get paid unless we successfully recover money.

Jack Bernstein and Scott Poisson have been fighting together to protect the rights for injured people since 1997.

In general, most personal injury cases must be filed within 2 years in Nevada. There are some exceptions to the 2 year statute of limitations.

We work for you. We emphasize to our lawyers and staff that they must promptly respond to all client communications, During a case, there are often periods of time where it may seems that not much is going on; however, it is always your right to contact us for updates. In addition, our staff are instructed to proactively reach out and give updates.

In order to get started, we must formally be retained so that we can obtain medical records, bills and other evidence. We require a signed contingency fee agreement (which means that we do not get paid unless we recover money), an intake document with basic information about you and the accident/incident, and a signed medical authorization which allows us to obtain medical records and bills.

Yes, we are.

Yes, you are permitted to change attorneys if you are unhappy with your current attorney. We can assist by sending a termination letter to your current attorney.

Yes. A major injury is not required. The ultimate value of a case is determined by a number of factors, including but not limited to the severity of the injury, treatment required, future medical care needed, amount of medical bills and wages lost.

In general, there are three compensable categories of damages: A. ECONOMIC DAMAGES - THIS WOULD INCLUDE ITEMS SUCH AS MEDICAL BILLS, PAST AND FUTURE, PAST WAGE LOSS, FUTURE LOSS OF EARNINGS, AND OTHER ECONOMIC NEEDS SUCH AS MEDICAL DEVICES AND LIFE CARE NEEDS. B. NONECONOMIC DAMAGES - THIS WOULD INCLUDE INTANGIBLE DAMAGES SUCH AS PAST AND FUTURE PAIN AND SUFFERING DAMAGES. C. PUNITIVE DAMAGES - PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARE GENERALLY LIMITED TO CASES WITH EGREGIOUS BEHAVIOR THAT RESULTED IN PERSONAL INJURY. PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARE DESIGNED TO PUNISH AND DETER FUTURE BAD CONDUCT.

Yes. In Nevada, you may recover damages so long as a jury does not find that you were more than 50% at fault.

The overwhelming majority of personal injury cases settle without a trial. At Bernstein & Poisson, we prepare cases as if they might go to trial to maximize settlement value.

Nevada lawyers are not permitted to advance money to clients. However, there are companies which loan money to injured clients. As necessary, Bernstein & Poisson can recommend funding companies and we fully cooperate with the companies. Note that it is within the sole discretion of a funding company as to whether a loan is issued, as well as the amount of the loan. If a loan is granted by a funding company, the company will wait until the conclusion of a case to get repaid.
