Fighting for the Injured.
Recovering the Compensation you Deserve.

The Moment Everything Changed

I have answered calls in the wee hours as my clients made their way to emergency rooms, helping them try to process both physical pain and a flood of questions about what would happen next. In Clark County, I’ve seen a single crash upend careers, strain family relationships, and shake someone’s entire sense of security.

That is why our work is about more than proving who was at fault. My team at Dalton Law Office combines detailed, forensic case-building (such as medical chronologies and accident reconstructions) with a focus on the human side of recovery. We help our clients find treatment resources, help with obtaining replacement income, retraining, counseling and provide steady legal support throughout the healing process. Every case is about rebuilding our clients’ lives and stability, not just winning a claim.

The Trap You’re Facing

Within days of an accident, an insurance adjuster may call with an offer that seems like quick relief. The truth is that many of these early settlements fail to cover the full cost of recovery.

Adjusters often use scripted questions to minimize your claim and frame the accident in their client’s favor. They try to lure clients with offers of immediate cash that they know will never adequately compensate for their losses. We often get calls from people whose insurance companies are offering very small amounts to sign away their rights. We always take the time to talk with them and our lawyers will let potential clients know if we think their injuries mean they deserve a lot more than that. Ultimately, we are happy to fight for what our clients really deserve.

Real-world Examples

Even once we are involved, getting reasonable compensation means putting up a good fight. One victim of an assault, without significant physical injuries, and total medical bills of around $5,000 (including imaging to make sure nothing was broken), came to us seeking help. The insurance lawyers blamed our client for the incident, and initially offered $9,000. The client’s final recovery was $130,000, money that compensated him for an egregious attack that he did not cause, and for the significant psychological impacts he experienced, and we sent a message to the businesses that allowed this attack to happen.

In another case, an unreasonable insurance adjuster initially offered only $2,500 to compensate an automobile crash victim. After we filed suit, we were able to get full policy limits when opposing counsel took over and saw how our client’s injuries were real and debilitating.*

How We Build Your Case

Our job is to take the facts of what happened and make them impossible to ignore. We do this by conducting an initial investigation and providing valuable advice. We painstakingly document damage to our clients’ vehicles, we work to stay current on progress with treatment providers and our clients’ healing process. In building the case, we gather evidence such as crash scene photographs, medical records, witness statements, and we obtain expert analysis, then weaving all it into a clear, persuasive narrative.

We focus on three questions: What happened? What have you lost? And what will you need in the future? The answers come from more than paperwork. They come from listening to you, understanding how your injuries affect your daily life, and showing the true scope of what it will take to make you whole again.

What to Expect When You Work With Us

From the first meeting, you speak directly with an experienced litigation attorney. We will give you a clear plan for the early stages of your case, such as securing surveillance footage before it’s erased, and make sure you understand every step we take. You will know exactly what we are fighting for and why, and you will always have a direct line to your legal team.

How Our Fees Work

In injury cases, we work on a contingency fee: you don’t pay attorney’s fees unless we recover money for you. The consultation is free. We typically advance case costs (records, experts, filing fees) and those are reimbursed from the recovery at the end; if there’s no recovery, you owe no attorney’s fees.

If your situation looks like a small, quick claim where a lawyer would just take a big chunk, we’ll tell you that upfront and share tips so you can decide what’s best for you.

The exact percentage and cost terms are set out in a written fee agreement, and we’ll walk you through it in plain English. We also help coordinate PIP/health insurance and we often negotiate medical liens to the extent practicable so your net recovery is protected.

Nicole’s Take: Why Speed Matters

Settling quickly almost always benefits the insurer, not you. Our team has recovered seven figure settlements and full policy limits in cases where clients’ injuries were minimized by doctors and insurance companies, and whose first offers were far too low.* Early settlements often ignore the cost of ongoing care, such as months of physical therapy after a serious crash, and crucial evidence can disappear within weeks. For example, dashcam footage may be erased within 30 days, totaled cars may be sold at auction, and witnesses may disappear or forget important details. Acting quickly allows us to protect that evidence and strengthen your case.
