Car Accidents

Car Accident, auto wreck. Collision with pole

       Car accidents in Las Vegas are an unfortunate reality.  The roads are plagued with overly aggressive drivers or drivers that do not pay attention to the road and their surroundings. Drivers like these cause accidents.
         Car accidents produce a wide range of injuries.  These range from broken bones caused by the traumatic forces of collisions, to soreness and stiffness associated with “whiplash.”  Our car accident attorneys frequently deal with insurance companies and notice they will typically try to deny all but the most obvious injuries.  Insurance companies will attempt to deny certain injuries that are difficult to diagnose, such as whiplash or other soft-tissue injuries.  They will also seek to refuse to reimburse medical expenses for diagnostic treatment such as an MRI or X-Rays.  However, when our experienced car accident attorneys contact the insurance companies, they know these delaying tactics will not work and that they cannot take further advantage of a victim.  Our car accident attorneys will work hard and force the insurance company to pay you all the money you deserve. 

       Unfortunately, car accidents frequently produce injuries.  An injured victim is first struck by another driver; and second victimized by an insurance company that refuses to pay the victim a proper settlement for their injuries.  Insurance companies have no incentive to properly compensate victims.  Insurance companies are not in business to pay money to victims, they are in business to make money.  Shortly after a collision, the insurance company may contact the victim and offer a small monetary settlement.  This is almost never a fair settlement, and the insurance companies hope the victim does not contact a car accident attorney.  Our car accident attorneys are able to get you the maximum compensation for your injuries, and prevent you from accepting a very unfair deal from a greedy insurance company. 

         Common injuries associated with car accidents are discussed in general “layman’s” terms below.  For a complete diagnosis and treatment, please consult with your treating physician.


  1. Herniated disc – A serious condition caused when the internal fluid from a disc in a victim’s spine leaks out of the disc.  This causes severe irritation to the nearby nerves.  The body identifies the leaking fluid as a foreign substance and attacks the fluid, causing extreme pain because the “battle” takes place on the nearby nerve roots.  Please feel free to contact your treating doctor or our car accident attorneys for additional helpful information. 
  2. Bulging or protruding disc – A “bulging” or “swelling” of the disc.  This condition is troubling because the swelling or bulging may cause the disc to push against a nearby nerve root.  This is associated with tingling or pain in the extremities, as well as back pain.  Please feel free to contact your treating doctor or our car accident attorneys for additional helpful information. 
  3. Annular tearing – An internal disruption of the disc in a victim’s spine.  It is associated with a ripping of the disc and is very painful because there is an abundance of nerves present in the area.  Annular tearing can produce severe back pain and possibly leg pain because the effected nerves travel to the legs.  Please feel free to contact your treating doctor or our car accident attorneys for additional helpful information. 
  4. Spinal cord injury – Any type of accident may cause an injury to the spinal cord.  This is a serious and life-altering injury.  It produces severe symptoms that will alter a person’s life.  Many times, a spinal cord injury produces paralysis or other loss of motion.  Unfortunately, many of these injuries are permanent and the victim will never recover fully from the accident.  Victims with a spinal injury may never be able to walk again.  In addition, the victim may require full-time care, such as a nurse, and may never be able to work again.  They will also require ongoing medical care and financial assistance for the rest of their lives.   Please feel free to contact your treating doctor or our car accident attorneys for additional helpful information. 
  5. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) – Any type of car accident injuring the head may cause a serious condition called Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).  This is a serious and life-altering injury.  Traumatic Brain Injury is a serious brain injury that many individuals never recover from.  It produces severe symptoms and may alter a victim’s personality, motor skills, communication skills, speech, and ability to reason or think clearly.  Many victims of Traumatic Brain Injury are never able to work again.  They will also require ongoing medical care and financial assistance for the rest of their lives.   Please feel free to contact your treating doctor or our car accident attorneys for additional helpful information. 
  6. Other injuries – any part of the body can be injured in a car accident.  Some of the common injuries are discussed above.  For details on additional injuries, please contact our experienced car accident attorneys. 

Car accident victims may be entitled to significant financial compensation for their injuries.  Our car accident attorneys will work hard to get you all the money you deserve.  You may receive money for your medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, future medical treatment, and a host of other reasons depending upon your case.  If you have suffered an injury, please contact our car accident attorneys immediately so we may begin getting you the medical treatment and money you deserve.
