You were hurt in Las Vegas, you are home now, and you have decided you probably need a lawyer. Then a practical doubt sets in: the lawyer you need is in Nevada and you are not. Do you have to get back on a plane to hire one? Fly back just to sign papers? Be there in person just to begin the conversation?
No. You can hire Benson & Bingham Injury Law from home through a phone or video consultation and electronic paperwork. You do not need to return to Nevada to get started.
Here are the three necessary steps—and why getting help promptly is crucial and completely possible no matter where you are.
Step 1: Have a Free Consultation From Home
The first conversation is free and happens by phone or video at a time we arrange with you. We have represented clients from across the country for years and regularly meet with out-of-state clients through Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, or FaceTime. Remote intake was part of our routine best practices even before the pandemic.
In that completely free conversation, we listen to what happened, answer all your questions, and assess whether you may have a viable Nevada injury claim we can help with. You are never committing to hire us just by having the consultation.
Have the date and location of the injury ready, along with a short account of what happened. If you have photos or videos, an incident or police report, or insurance company correspondence, those can help greatly—but you do not need a complete file on-hand before calling us.
Step 2: Review and Sign the Representation Agreement Electronically
If we agree to take on your case and you decide to hire us, we will send you the representation agreement for your electronic signature. We will review the terms with you, including the scope of our work, attorney fees, and how case expenses are typically handled. You can ask any questions before signing and keep a copy of the completed agreement with you.
You can sign from your phone or computer. If a document requires notarization, we can help arrange online notarization when the applicable requirements are met, including identity verification. Not every intake document will need a notary.
We confirm when representation begins and what we will handle within that scope of work. Depending on the case review and completion of the paperwork, the hiring process may even be completed that same day—without requiring any travel to Nevada.
Step 3: Sign the Authorizations That Let Us Gather Records
We also send the authorizations needed to request relevant medical records and other information necessary for your claim. These can be reviewed and signed remotely, with guidance from our legal team.
You provide the information you have about treatment providers and the incident; we explain what else is missing or may be needed. Once we are retained, we can also notify the insurers that we represent you and handle subsequent claim-related communications within the scope of the agreement on your behalf.
What Happens Once You Retain Us
Hiring promptly matters for a reason that has little to do with paperwork: evidence may be changing or becoming more difficult to lock down while you are deciding what to do.
Once we accept your case and representation begins, we take full responsibility for the legal and investigative work covered by our agreement, including assessing urgent evidence-preservation needs. Where necessary, we promptly send out preservation notices to the property and/or other relevant parties, identifying surveillance footage, incident reports, maintenance records, or other evidence they should preserve.
A preservation notice puts the recipient on notice of the claim and asks that any relevant evidence be kept secure. It does not guarantee that footage still exists or that every recipient will preserve it. That is why early action matters so greatly to the strength of your potential claim.
The practical advantage is clear: you can complete the hiring process from home while our Nevada legal team begins work here. Waiting to arrange a return trip can mean unnecessary delays while footage is overwritten, conditions change, or witnesses become harder to locate.
Does It Cost Anything to Start?
The consultation is 100% free, and you do not pay any upfront attorney’s fees to hire us for a contingency-fee injury case. Our attorney fee comes from the eventual recovery if and when we obtain one. If there is no recovery, you do not owe us an attorney fee.
Attorney fees and case expenses are very different. Before you sign, we will explain how expenses are handled under the written agreement and how they may affect any recovery.
However, you may be liable for the opposing parties’ attorney fees and costs in the event of a loss.
Why Hire a Las Vegas Firm if You Can Hire Remotely?
It is a fair question. If the consultation and paperwork happen from home, why does a local presence matter at all? This is actually a crucial question, so let’s break it down.
Remote hiring solves the travel problem, 100%. But local representation helps address the legal and investigative work where the injury occurred. A Las Vegas team can coordinate a site investigation when appropriate, identify the companies that either own or operate the property, pursue vital local evidence, and handle the Nevada legal work your claim will require.
An out-of-state firm may also arrange Nevada counsel or investigators. With Benson & Bingham Injury Law, you hire a local, Las Vegas-based firm directly and can communicate from home while we coordinate the work being performed here in Nevada.
Ready to Speak With a Las Vegas Injury Lawyer From Home?
If the only thing holding you back is the assumption that hiring a Las Vegas lawyer means traveling back to Las Vegas, you can set that aside. The consultation is free and remote, the paperwork can be electronic, you can ask questions before deciding, and—most importantly—the sooner you retain us, the sooner we can protect the evidence your claim may depend on.
