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.

Birth and Nursing Home Injuries

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
            The population of Las Vegas is growing older as baby boomers approach retirement age.  There is an increased demand for nursing home care.  Unfortunately, the nursing home industry contains some unfit operators that do not adequately care for their elderly patients.  Too often, elderly patients can not care for themselves – that is the reason families turn to nursing homes for assistance.  But sometimes nursing homes do not perform the job families pay them to perform.  Unfortunately, the elderly patient may have difficulty communicating and is unable to inform family members about any abuse.  The nursing home may also abuse the elderly by increasing or decreasing necessary medications, which may further hamper the patient’s ability to complain about the abuse or alert family.  Nursing home abuse continues to increase as our population ages.
        Family members may protect their loved ones by looking for signs or symptoms of abuse.  These signs may be physical or mental.  Physical signs of nursing home abuse may include bed sores, malnutrition, unsanitary conditions, bruising, or over-medication.  Our nursing home abuse attorneys can discuss physical signs of abuse with your family.  Mental signs of nursing home abuse may include personality changes, paranoia, emotional outbursts, distress, or failure to communicate with loved ones.  Our nursing home abuse attorneys can discuss mental signs of abuse with your family.  Nursing home abuse is often difficult to diagnose and frequently is not discovered without active involvement from the family and knowledgeable nursing home abuse attorneys. 
        Our nursing home abuse attorneys will work hard to end the abuse and get your loved one the maximum compensation they deserve.  They may be entitled to money to compensate them for their pain and suffering, medical costs for future medical care, and punitive damages to punish the nursing home for their malicious behavior.  Contact our nursing home abuse attorneys today to discuss your case and help your loved one.

The Law Office of Joshua L. Harmon

provides aggressive representation to injured victims.  We provide proactive and aggressive representation because the best results are earned through your attorney’s hard work.  Insurance companies did not get rich by paying out large damage claims – so it is important to let an experienced attorney handle your injury claim.

The firm handles all types of injury and accident claims.  We assist you in getting your life back together while you concentrate on healing the damage to your body.  The law firm will guide you through the complex legal environment caused by insurance companies aggressively denying claims.  We provide detailed analysis into critical questions such as what caused the accident, who is at fault, who can be held legally responsible, what insurance coverage is available, and how to position your case for maximum recovery.  We also are skilled at describing and portraying your injuries in a vivid and detailed manner so that any insurance company knows the extent of compensation you should receive.  Our informative analysis and experience is critical in negotiating a satisfactory resolution.

Unfortunately, some claims cannot be fully resolved through negotiation and require litigation.  This is the process of filing a lawsuit in Court and possibly culminating in a jury trial.  The litigation process can be a rewarding experience, but it is also time-consuming.  Any client must understand that the best results take time so that your case can be properly positioned to achieve the maximum recovery.  We do not advertise “quick” cash.  We commit ourselves to a maximum recovery and recognize that the best results often take time and hard work.  Many attorneys that seek to resolve your case quickly are unwilling to put in the work and time to obtain the highest possible dollar amount. 

The litigation process begins at the Court.  The process is initiated by filing a Complaint which provides the factual basis for your claim and identifies your legal theories for recovery.  The other side typically has twenty (20) days to respond to the Complaint.  Then, the process called “discovery” begins.  The discovery process is a fact finding procedure.  The sides will interview witnesses and record individuals’ testimony through the deposition process.  In addition, the sides will seek and exchange relevant documents and attempt to narrow the issues that are presented to a jury.  The typical discovery process lasts six (6) to twelve (12) months.  After that, the Court will assign a trial date and the parties will present their cases to a jury. 

Whether your case is successfully resolved through negotiation or litigation, we will assist you through the process and aggressively seek the largest monetary recovery possible. 

We look forward to helping you through this difficult stage of your life.  Please contact us immediately so we may begin to process your claim

Animal Attacks

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

Animal Attacks
      Pet owners have a duty to properly restrain and handle their dogs or other animals.  This may include ensuring the animal is on a leash when it is outside the home or that the dog is properly fenced onto the owners’ property.  When a dog is not leashed or not properly confined to the residence, serious injuries can occur.  Our dog bit attorneys are available to evaluate your case and assist in determining who is liable for the dog bite. 
      Many dogs in Las Vegas, such  as pit bulls and rottweillers are aggressive by nature and can seriously injure an individual.  These dogs can be extremely violent if not properly trained and handled.  The newspapers report numerous mauling incidents.  These are some of the most serious and heart-wrenching tales because they often involve infants, toddlers, or others unable to protect themselves.  A dog’s powerful jaws can rend flesh and inflict life-threatening wounds in a matter of seconds.  Many of these injuries produce severe scarring that never heals.
      Injured victims can hold dog owners legally responsible for a violent dog’s actions.  The most common legal claim is negligence – for failing to properly leash the dog or failing to properly train the dog.  In addition, if the dog attacks a “guest” in the owner’s home, the owner may be legally liable responsible as well.  Most comprehensive homeowner’s insurance policies provide insurance coverage for dog attacks.  Thus, if a pet owner’s dog attacks a person, that injury will typically trigger insurance coverage.  And most homeowners have insurance because it is paid by their mortgage holder through an escrow account, whether the homeowner knows this or not.  So unless the individual owns their home “free and clear” and has no mortgage, there should be insurance coverage for a dog bite or attack. 

 

      Our dog bite attorneys are able to evaluate your case and get you the maximum compensation for your injuries.  Dog bite victims may be entitled to significant financial compensation for their injuries.  Our dog bite 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 a dog bite, please contact our dog bite attorneys immediately so we may begin getting you the money you deserve.
