Legal Question in Personal Injury in Nevada
Personal injury claim
I was involved in a traffic accident last summer in Reno, NV. I sustained a whiplash injury and had several months of therapy and medical treatments. My doctor wrote a letter to the insurance carrier of the other driver (at fault) that I would have ongoing medical expenses and this would be a life long problem for me. They want me to settle for my expenses, lost wages and a small extra amount. I want either lifetime medical benefits for my injury for future doctor visits, I am still under medical care, or a larger settle to cover the future medical expenses. They do not bargain with me in good faith, mostly ignore my letters and phone calls. What is their obligaiton to me and what options do I have to settle this matter? Thanks

Re: Reno, Nevada Automobile Accident Matter
Dear Sir or Madam:
We have reviewed the e-mail material.
The insurance company's primary obligation is to
settle claims against its insured in the best
interests of the insured, the insurer and its
other policyholders and stockholders, and not you.
Please be advised that every state, including
the State of Nevada, provides a specific
Statute of Limitations for every claim. This
is the period of time within which you must file
your lawsuit, if at all. If you do not file
your claim within the prescribed period of time,
your claim will be forever barred. Since we
have not been engaged to render an opinion as to
when the applicable limitations period expires
concerning your claim, we urge you to immediately
hire other counsel.
Thank you very much for your confidence in our
abilities and for the opportunity to be of service. No case material will be returned to its source, or elsewhere, unless you direct otherwise.
Sincerely,
Paul J. Malikowski
