FAQ's & Case Type Focus
Adoptions: Member of the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys
While we work carefully and diligently on all our cases, our adoption cases receive even more attention. We have worked on over one hundred adoption cases, in both non-contested and contested matters, and have also represented most of the licensed adoption agencies in Nevada. Local, interstate, or international, we are ready to assist you with your adoption.
Business and Commercial Litigation
In the area of business and commercial litigation, you need aggressive representation to press your position forward or defend against the claims of others. At the same time, given the escalating cost of litigation you need to make financially prudent decisions. Unlike the large law firms, at Eric A. Stovall, Ltd. we strategically plan litigation to vigorously represent our clients in a manner that recognizes the cost - benefit analysis that business requires.
Construction
Regardless of whether you are an owner, general contractor or sub-contractor, we are ready to represent you in the construction litigation case. We regularly defend and prosecute construction defect actions, mechanic's lien claims and other breach of contract matters. We also represent insurance and surety companies in defending their insured's and principals.
Insurance Litigation
It is an interesting practice where in one case we aggressively attack an insurance company's bad faith actions and in another case, we vigorously defend the legitimate claims practices of a different insurance company. Prior to admission to the bar, Eric A. Stovall, Esq. was a licensed property and casualty/life and health insurance agent, running his family's independent insurance agency. Consequently, Mr. Stovall, is able to insightfully and effectively represent both insureds and insurers. This diversity gives us unique insight into insurance issues that few other firms can match.
Personal Injury
Over the last few years, it has become easier to find personal injury attorneys just by watching T.V. However, many of these advertising lawyers are no more than media figureheads who do not actively try cases. At Eric A. Stovall, Esq., Ltd., our primary advertising is our satisfied clients and this website. Instead of focusing on media advertising, we focus on aggressively representing our clients to obtain the maximum amount to fairly and fully compensate them for their injuries.
Car wrecks, pedestrian injuries, slip/trip and falls, bicycle and motorcycle accidents are all cases that we regularly and actively litigate. We vigorously pursue recoveries for our clients hospital and doctor bills, lost income, pain and suffering and other damages caused by others.
Surety
It is a simple fact that insurance defense attorneys do not always understand the intricacies of the surety bonds and how they differ from indemnity policies. We understand the differences between the principal, the obligee and the indemnitor and represent sureties on a regular basis.
Worker's Compensation
We regularly represent employers and third-party administrators in worker's compensation cases. We understand the problems faced in these cases and provide aggressive representation needed.
Additionally, we represent injured workers but limit that representation to new claims involving serious injury or death.
Wrongful Death & Serious Injury
Cases involving death and serious injuries such as brain damage, spinal cord injuries, amputations and other serious injuries receive our maximum effort and attention. We understand their devastating effect and long-term consequences.
When we undertake these types of cases, we often retain expert consultants to assist us in the case. In the past we have hired accident reconstructionists, fire and origin specialists, propane experts, economists as well as orthopaedic and neurological specialists.
While the type of specialist retained is dependent upon the unique facts of each case, you need to know that these life-changing cases receive our full focus and all necessary resources to maximize the recovery to which our clients are legally entitled.
