Ozzie FumoInjury Lawyer · Las Vegas

Traumatic brain injury · Las Vegas

The injury nobody can see, and the one the insurer fights hardest.

No cast, no scar, no obvious proof — and that's exactly why these claims get undervalued. It takes real documentation and real trial experience to get them taken seriously.

01What this covers

Brain injuries from any kind of crash.

02What Nevada law actually says

Three things worth knowing before you call anyone.

The clock is running.

In Nevada, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim — and TBI symptoms that surface late still fall inside that same window.

Being partly at fault doesn't end your case.

Nevada follows comparative negligence. You can still recover even if you were partially responsible — your award is reduced by your share of the fault, not eliminated by it.

A fair recovery has to look years out.

Medical expenses, lost wages, reduced future earning capacity, and pain and suffering — with a TBI, the future-earning-capacity piece often matters more than with any other injury.

03Why call Ozzie specifically

Thirty years standing in front of Nevada juries.

Brain injury cases live or die on whether a jury can be made to understand an injury they can't see. Thirty years trying cases, AV rated by Martindale-Hubbell, listed in Super Lawyers and Best Lawyers, and named Consumer Advocate of the Year by the Nevada Justice Association in 2019 — that trial experience is what it takes to make an invisible injury visible.

04Straight answers

Brain injury questions.

My scan came back normal. Do I still have a case?

Possibly, yes. Many brain injuries don't show up clearly on a first scan. Documented symptoms and follow-up care matter as much as imaging.

How long do I have to file a claim in Nevada?

Generally two years from the date of the accident, even if symptoms took time to appear.

The other driver says it was my fault. Can I still recover?

Yes. Nevada's comparative negligence rule means you can still recover even if you're partially at fault — your award is reduced by your share, not wiped out.

Do I pay anything up front?

No. You pay nothing unless we recover for you.
