You might need to rely on one or more party’s insurance policies to get the compensation you need to recover after a dog bite accident. Dealing with an insurance company can be a difficult task, but your attorney can represent your interests to an insurance adjuster to ensure you present a strong claim and leave no money on the table. 

Your lawyer will present your claim, including evidence of the responsible party’s liability and your demand for damages. They will include supporting documents regarding your losses. 

The insurance company handling the case will then begin its investigation. Insurance adjusters might request access to your medical records, bills, and other information. Your attorney can facilitate this communication and ensure you are not divulging too much or providing unnecessary information to the insurance company. 

After the investigation is complete, the insurance company will decide on liability. Insurers often dispute the liability of dog owners, and Nevada dog bite laws are complicated. You need an attorney to prove the owner should be liable in your case. 

If the other party is found liable, the insurance company might offer you a monetary settlement amount. You can review the terms of the settlement offer with your attorney to ensure it is satisfactory and covers all of your accident-related losses. Your attorney might file a lawsuit on your behalf if settlement offers are insufficient.
