TBI

Friday, August 7th, 2009


Any type of 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.

Our traumatic brain injury attorneys will work relentlessly to get compensation for the victim. Many times, the victim will require medical assistance and monitoring the rest of their life. Our traumatic brain injury attorneys will consult with a medical expert to prepare a cost estimate of medical treatment for the rest of the victim’s life. In addition, our traumatic brain injury attorneys will obtain a detailed report showing the victim’s lost wages and any future earnings that the victim is entitled to receive.

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.

Drunk Driving Accident

Saturday, August 1st, 2009

DUI Accident, drinking and driving

DUI Accident, drinking and driving

DUI Accidents – Drunk Driving Accident
It is illegal in Nevada to operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 or higher. (NRS 484.379). Las Vegas is a 24 hour town and many bars or casinos never close. Every day, people make the disastrous decision to operate their car after they have drunk too much alcohol. Not only are there criminal penalties for this behavior, but also it can have a far more tragic outcome, such as injuring or killing another driver. Drunk driving accidents happen around the clock in Las Vegas – anytime and anyplace. It is only a matter of time until a habitual drunk driver causes an accident and irrevocably impacts someone else’s life. Our DUI accident attorneys are experienced in dealing with the aftermath of a DUI accident and will allow you to focus on recovering from your injuries.
Unfortunately, DUI accidents frequently produce injuries. An injured victim is first struck by drunk 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 DUI accident attorney. Our DUI 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.
DUI 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 DUI 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 DUI 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 DUI accident attorneys will work hard and force the insurance company to pay you all the money you deserve.
Common injuries associated with DUI 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 DUI 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 DUI 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 DUI 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 DUI 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 DUI 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 DUI accident attorneys.

DUI accident victims may be entitled to significant financial compensation for their injuries. Our DUI 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 DUI accident attorneys immediately so we may begin getting you the medical treatment and money you deserve.

Truck Accidents

Saturday, August 1st, 2009

 

18 wheeler Diesel truck accident at traffic intersection

18 wheel Diesel truck accident at traffic intersection

     Collisions involving commercial trucks often produce catastrophic injuries.  This is a natural result of the forces involved in trucking accidents.  Many commercial trucks weigh upwards of 80,000 pounds, compared with approximately 2,200 pounds for a typical car.  So, in a trucking accident, the enormous size and weight of the commercial truck produces serious injuries in almost every case.  Furthermore, commercial trucks often have bumpers or sides that do not match the typical height of a normal car bumper – which removes or negates one of the most common car safety devices.  Another unfortunate reality is that commercial trucks have a much higher ground clearance.  If a car impacts the side of a commercial truck, the top half of the car is often sheared completely off the bottom half of the car – with disastrous results for the car driver.  Our truck accident attorneys will investigate the accident scene and determine who is at fault for the truck accident.       

     It is critical that an experienced truck accident attorney handle your case.  Truck accident cases are much more complex than a typical car accident case.  Commercial truck drivers are governed by a different set of rules than other drivers.  Our truck accident attorneys will thoroughly investigate your case.  It is imperative to obtain and analyze evidence relating to the trucking accident.  For example, our truck accident attorneys will obtain:

In some cases, commercial truck accidents occur because of driver error or fatigue.  Truck drivers may not pay attention to the road, and not notice oncoming traffic.  They may also force their way into oncoming traffic thinking that any car can stop prior to hitting them.  A common cause of truck accidents is driver fatigue.  Commercial truck drivers are sometimes paid for each delivery, so this encourages truck drivers to stay on the road instead of resting or taking a break.  These financial incentives encourage truck drivers to continue driving when they are tired and dangerous – leading to truck accidents.  It can also encourage truck drivers to skip necessary maintenance because they are in a hurry to continue with their delivery rather than stopping to have brakes checked or other maintenance performed in a timely manner.  Our truck accident attorneys are experienced in investigating these possible causes of a truck accident. 

          
Truck accident victims may be entitled to significant financial compensation for their injuries.  Our truck 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 truck accident attorneys immediately so we may begin getting you the money you deserve.
