Many car crashes in Nevada (and across America) involve undocumented immigrants. This usually puts those immigrants in fear of engaging a lawyer or filing a lawsuit for fear of deportation. A common question I get is "If I sue, and the insurance company finds out that I am illegal, won't they deport me?" The simple answer is that it is against the rules. It is not relevant to your case and they SHOULD leave it alone. The practical answer is that some insurance companies are so evil that they may stoop to that tactic, but personally, in over ten years of practice, I have yet to see it.

Mejores Abogados de Lesiones de Las Vegas-¿Su Estado Migratorio Afecta su Demanda?
Muchos accidentes automovilísticos en Nevada (y en todo Estados Unidos) involucran a inmigrantes indocumentados. Esto generalmente pone a esos inmigrantes con miedo de contratar a un abogado o presentar una demanda por temor a la deportación. Una pregunta común que recibo es: "Si presento una demanda y la compañía de seguros descubre que soy ilegal, ¿no me deportarán?" La respuesta simple es que va en contra de las reglas. No es relevante para su caso y DEBEN dejarlo en paz. La respuesta práctica es que algunas compañías de seguros son tan malvadas que pueden rebajarse a esa táctica, pero personalmente, en más de diez años de práctica, todavía no lo he visto.
President Obama Expands DACA & DAPA Programs
On November 20, 2014 President Obama made a landmark announcement when he discussed his plan to issue an Executive Order that would do two things; first, it would expand the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, more commonly referred to as DACA. Next he announced plans to accept requests for Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, now known as DAPA. Many individuals are anxiously awaiting more information about the new expansions. In an effort to help individuals understand who will be eligible, USCIS has issued some guidelines about who may expect to qualify.
