About

There is no requirement that an injured party has to hire an attorney. In most
personal injury cases, the insurance carrier of the at fault party will try to immediately
contact the injured party to reach a settlement for low value before the injured party
retains an attorney. Insurance carriers do this on purpose because they will
statistically save more money by settling the case early with a non-represented party
before the non-represented party knows the true value of their injury claim. In most
cases, you need a strong team consisting of an attorney and staff to achieve the
results you want. We have both at Menocal Law Group.

This is a very common question that attorney David Menocal likes to address in his
initial consultation with a new client. He will tell clients that other law firms who
guarantee the value of your case in your first conversation with them are likley lying
to you. It is generally too difficult to estimate the value of an injured party’s case in
the very beginning for two reasons: 1) Unless you are certain that the at fault party
has high insurance coverage (it was a UPS or FedEx truck), their insurance limits
are normally unknown immediately after an injury takes place; 2) In most cases, an
injured party does not know the extent of their injuries until after months or
potentially years of treatment. For that reason, every case is different, which means
settlements will be too.

Unfortunately, this is what the average law firm does and the clients are left with no
trust and a sense that their cases are in limbo. At Menocal Law Group, David
Menocal takes pride in making himself ALWAYS available. He tells clients that he
has exceptional case managers, who have worked closely together with him for
several years. We have achieved multiple milllion dollar settlements as a team, but

David has primary communication with the clients from A-Z, which sets Menocal
Law Group apart from the rest.

Absolutely. No money is due up front and Menocal Law Group can only collect fees and
costs if we win the case. This is called a “contingency fee”. This provides even more
incentive to go the extra mile for our clients.

Yes. There is a large network of doctors who treat personal injury patients on a lien,
which means that the medical bills will be paid upon settlement of the case. Our firm
will help find the closest and most qualified medical providers for you by providing
several options to choose from.

Menocal Law Group has been very successful in obtaining settlements in an efficient
amount of time. However, there is never a guarantee that your case will settle and
there is no fixed time frame in determining the length of a personal injury case. Once
again, every case is different. This is due to variables such as the amount of
insurance coverage, nature/extent of injuries, and whether or not the insurance
company of the at fault party is being reasonable in their evaluation of our client’s
injury claim.

It is not supposed to under Nevada law. If your insurance premium increases after
an accident that was not your fault, then you should immediately call your insurance
and ask the reason why the premium increased. If they tell you that it was due to
using your Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage, then you should
immediately call Menocal Law Group because you may be entitled to compensation
against your own insurance under the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS).
