has to offer. On the positive side, Las Vegas is known as a Sin City and is a tourist/traffic hot spot. This means there are plenty of vehicles and individuals coming through the city every day. With such a large number of visitors, there are ample traffic accidents, slips and falls, batteries, and other types of accidents that will cause injury to a person. For us, there are always opportunities to take on more cases and expand our repertoire, the only question is whether we have the capacity to do so. On the negative side, since Las Vegas has more than enough accidents to cause injuries on a minute-to-minute basis, there are also a large number of law firms competing with one another for business. This is best exemplified by the countless advertisements for personal injury lawyers spread throughout the city.

We sometimes have to compete with other personal injury firms to take on a client, it is an inevitable aspect of working in a popular market. In what ways does PT Law distinguish itself from other personal injury firms in Nevada? One of the complaints we hear most often from clients who were transferred over from other law firms is they do not know what is going on with their case and why they need to seek treatment now as opposed to later. For us, making sure the client is informed is a priority. From the initial intake meeting, we educate the client on how a personal injury claim progresses from beginning to finish. We discuss the possible treatments clients may undergo based on our past experience and set expectations in a realistic manner. As opposed to telling our client to go get treated and come back to us when the client finishes treatment, we stand by our client and guide them through the process. If the client does not know what doctor they should seek to receive treatment, we provide them with recommendations based on the type of injury they sustained. When there are updates on a client’s case, we bring them in to discuss the update and to plan out the next step. In the end, the client feels informed about the process and feels as if they were going through the process alongside us. WWW.LAWYER-MONTHLY.COM 13 Making sure the client is informed is a priority.
