The Nevada Supreme Court made an important decision regarding the right to a jury trial when a small amount is in controversy. In Aftercare of Clark County v. Justice Ct., 120 Nev. Adv. Op. No. 2 (2004), the Court struck down a $5,000 jury trial threshold and stated that "the Nevada constitutional guaranty of trial by jury covers justice’s court civil actions even when small amounts are in controversy." In a Nevada personal injury claim, a Nevada Lawyer will first try to obtain a settlement by sending a Demand Letter to the other party's insurance company. All efforts are made to get you the damages you are entitled to receive without putting you through the time and expense of a jury trial. If the insurance company refuses to settle for a reasonable amount, a Nevada Attorney can file a lawsuit on your behalf.
