Practice Areas Detail
An accident can be life-changing. The aftermath brings serious challenges: expensive medical bills, property damage, physical injuries, job loss, and financial hardship.
Insurance companies almost always offer a settlement lower than what you deserve. Rose Law pursues the maximum recovery from the at-fault driver and uses Nevada's personal injury and insurance laws to put the most possible into your pocket.
With approximately 30 years of experience handling personal injury claims, we are prepared to fight for you at every stage of the case, from negotiation through trial.
What to do after an accident:
- If it is safe, leave your vehicle in place. If not, move it off the roadway.
- Call 911.
- Ask police to photograph the scene, every vehicle involved (including tires on any commercial truck), and the at-fault driver. If officers will not, do it yourself if able.
- Seek medical attention immediately. Any gap in treatment gives insurers ammunition.
- Bill medical providers through your health insurance, not the at-fault driver's auto policy. Under Nevada law this substantially increases the amount you ultimately receive; providers cannot refuse to bill your health insurer.
- After receiving necessary care, contact Rose Law.
- If you must report the accident yourself, give only the general facts. Do not state you are uninjured, do not agree to a recorded statement, and do not authorize release of your medical records.
- Have property damage handled by the at-fault driver's insurer, not yours, to avoid a claim on your own policy. Do not discuss injuries or accident facts with the property-damage adjuster.
Insurance companies are not your friend. Not even your own. They are there to pay you as little as possible.
Rose Law represents clients in disputes with insurance companies arising from an insurer's unreasonable failure to comply with policy obligations and Nevada's Unfair Claims Practices Act. Claims can arise from bad-faith handling, delay, underpayment, or failure to defend.
Under Nevada law, every insurance policy carries an implied duty of good faith and fair dealing. Insurance companies are required to timely adjust valid claims, pay when liability is reasonably clear, and place their insured's interests on equal footing with their own.
Many insurers operate on a "delay, deny, underpay" model, knowing that only a fraction of policyholders will challenge their conduct. They count on the math: if an insurer saves $1,000,000 by underpaying one hundred claims and only has to pay $100,000 to the ten claimants who fight back, they still pocket $900,000. Rose Law has handled bad-faith cases across the policy categories below for nearly thirty years. We know how to make that math stop working.
A "Failure to Defend" claim arises when a liability insurer (auto, homeowners, commercial) refuses to defend its insured against a covered claim. That refusal is often itself bad faith and can expose the insurer to damages well beyond the policy limits.
We handle bad-faith claims arising from:
- Homeowner's insurance
- Auto underinsured / uninsured motorist insurance
- Auto medical-payments insurance
- Disability insurance
- Commercial trucking insurance
- Life insurance
When a 40-ton semi-truck collides with a passenger vehicle, the consequences are almost always catastrophic. When such accidents result from driver negligence or a trucking company's failure to properly train or maintain its fleet, you have a right to full compensation.
Rose Law has successfully handled multiple truck accident cases since 1998. We pursue every liable party (drivers, trucking companies, cargo loaders, and maintenance contractors) and preserve critical evidence including black box data, driver logs, and maintenance records.
Common causes we investigate include fatigued or overworked drivers, improper training, speeding or reckless driving, failure to maintain brakes and tires, and overloaded or unbalanced loads.
After a truck accident: call 911, document the scene, seek immediate medical attention, and contact Rose Law before speaking with any insurance adjuster.
Most motorcycle vs. automobile accidents result in severe injuries to the rider, as the motorcycle is almost always the smaller mass in the collision. These accidents frequently occur because a careless motorist fails to signal, speeds, drives too fast for conditions, or simply fails to look for and yield to motorcycles.
Motorcyclists are often unfairly blamed when accidents occur. Rose Law knows how to counter that bias, present the evidence clearly, and fight for the full compensation riders deserve.
Bicycle accidents can be just as dangerous as, or more dangerous than, other roadway accidents because the cyclist is usually the smaller mass involved. These accidents frequently occur without warning and can result in serious injuries, steep medical bills, and lost income.
As the Reno/Sparks area continues to grow, roads become more crowded and bicycle accidents become more common. Rose Law has successfully handled numerous bicycle accident cases and knows how to maximize your financial recovery for the damages you've suffered.
In Nevada, a landowner is liable for injuries caused by a dangerous condition on their property that they knew or should have known existed. Business owners, property owners, and homeowners all have a legal responsibility to provide a reasonably safe environment.
Most people injured on someone else's property don't know their rights. Rose Law knows what it takes to prove a premises liability case. We can help you determine whether you have a claim, and fight to maximize your recovery if you do.
Auto accidents are the leading cause of death for Americans 35 and under. Under Nevada's wrongful death laws, surviving family members can seek compensation for their loved one's pre-death pain and suffering, funeral expenses, lost income, and loss of companionship.
We understand that no amount of money can fill the hole left by your loss. However, pursuing a wrongful death claim can provide a measure of closure and financial stability for the family members left behind. Rose Law will handle your case with compassion and relentless determination.
If you have been injured in an animal attack, especially a dog bite, you may be entitled to compensation from the animal's owner, the property owner, the landlord, or another liable party.
Animal attack cases can become legally complex if the owner is uncooperative. Rose Law handles your case from start to finish, ensuring you receive appropriate medical care and full compensation. You will work directly with Sean P. Rose, not a paralegal or law clerk.
Elder abuse and nursing home neglect are serious and complex legal matters governed by both federal and state law. Rose Law has handled numerous elder neglect and abuse cases and has the knowledge and experience to protect your loved one.
Warning signs to watch for:
- Development of bed sores or pressure ulcers (rarely occur without negligence)
- Significant unexplained weight loss
- Dehydration or malnourishment
- Falls while in the care of staff
- Unsanitary or unsafe living conditions
- Unexplained overall decline in functioning
Every year, approximately 75,000 Americans are killed or injured while navigating sidewalks, crosswalks, and roadways on foot. The NHTSA reports over 4,600 pedestrian fatalities and 70,000 injuries annually. The vast majority are caused by driver negligence.
Rose Law is experienced in helping pedestrian accident victims maximize their recovery from the at-fault party, including full compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care needs.
