Looking for a Farsi-Speaking Personal Injury Lawyer in Las Vegas? We Speak Farsi.

The Sookiassian Firm is a personal injury law firm in Downtown Summerlin that helps people hurt in car, truck, motorcycle and other accidents across the Las Vegas valley. We speak Farsi (Persian), so Farsi-speaking clients can explain what happened and understand their options in their own language.

After an accident, the details matter: how the crash happened, where it hurts, how the pain has changed, and what you can no longer do at work or at home. Those details are easier to describe in the language you think in. The same is true for paperwork. Letters from insurance companies, medical forms, and releases are easier to understand, and safer to sign, when someone has explained them to you in your own language first.

If you're reaching out for an older parent or relative, you're welcome to call on their behalf and to come to the consultation together.

What to Do After an Accident in Las Vegas (and What Not to Say to the Insurance Company)

Get Medical Care and Keep Every Record

See a doctor as soon as you can, even if you feel fine. Some injuries show up hours or days later. Keep every record, bill, prescription, and receipt, and tell your doctor about every symptom.

Report the Crash and Get the Police Report or Event Number

Call 911 after a crash with injuries. Write down the police report or event number and the names of the responding officers. The report is often the most important early document in a claim.

Be Careful With Recorded Statements and Forms

Be careful about giving a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company before you understand your rights. Don't sign forms, releases, or medical authorizations you haven't fully understood, especially if they're only in English. Ask for time to have them explained.

Keep Photos, Witness Names and Your Own Policy

Photograph the vehicles, the scene, and your injuries. Get names and phone numbers of witnesses. Find a copy of your own auto insurance policy; it may include coverage that matters later.

How Nevada Injury Claims Work, in Plain Language

Deadlines

In Nevada, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit (NRS 11.190(4)(e)). Some claims have different or additional requirements, so it's best to talk to a lawyer early.

If You Were Partly at Fault

You can recover compensation even if you were partially at fault — as long as your share of fault is 50 percent or less. Your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Learn more in our guide to comparative negligence in Nevada.

If the Other Driver Has No Insurance or Too Little

Under NRS 687B.145(2), Nevada auto insurers must offer uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, and under NRS 690B.020, uninsured motorist coverage is included in a policy unless the policyholder rejects it in writing. If you have this coverage, your own policy may help cover losses the other driver's insurance does not. Our car accident lawyer page explains more.

Claims Involving Government Vehicles or Property

Claims against government entities are subject to special procedural rules and notice requirements under Nevada law.

To understand what a claim can include, see our guide to personal injury damages in Nevada.

Hurt in Las Vegas While Visiting?

Many Farsi-speaking families visit Las Vegas from Southern California and elsewhere. If you were hurt in a crash or fall that happened in Nevada, the claim is generally handled under Nevada law, and attorney Jaklin Sookiassian is licensed in Nevada.

If you've already gone home, keep every medical record and bill from your doctors there, keep your receipts for travel and treatment, and talk to a Nevada lawyer early. You can have the consultation by phone.

What a Consultation Looks Like

The first consultation is free. We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means our fee is a percentage of any recovery. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney's fee. You may still be responsible for case costs, and in some cases a client may be liable for the opposing party's fees and costs if the case is lost.

The consultation can be in Farsi or English. You can come to our Downtown Summerlin office or talk by phone or video.

In a free consultation, we review what happened, your injuries and the insurance involved, and your options under Nevada law, and answer your questions about the process. There is no obligation to hire the firm.

It helps to bring:

the police report or event number;
photos of the scene, vehicles, and injuries;
medical records and bills you have so far;
your auto insurance policy or card, and the other driver's information;
any letters, emails, or forms from an insurance company.

If you don't have everything, call anyway.

Hours: Monday–Sunday, 8:00 AM–6:00 PM.

The insurance company called me and wants a recorded statement. What should I do?

You are not required to give the other driver's insurance company a recorded statement. Be careful about giving a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company before you understand your rights. Consider speaking with a lawyer first, especially if English isn't your first language.

Possibly, through your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage if you have it (NRS 690B.020; NRS 687B.145(2)). Check your policy and bring it to your consultation. See our car accident lawyer page.
