Our local Las Vegas, Nevada streets can be dangerous, as other negligent drivers take to the Strip to sightsee and mingle with the locals and tourists under a very distracting backdrop of lights, music, and entertainment.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department lists two of our city’s most dangerous intersections as West Sahara Avenue and Arville Street and Paradise Road and East Tropicana Avenue, but often it is outside the city where the danger lies.

Las Vegas, Nevada Dog Bite Lawyers

Whether you were bitten by a family member’s dog or a stranger’s dog who was left to roam without regard for the public’s safety, you deserve to have your dog bite claim taken seriously, so you can get the treatment you deserve without paying out of pocket for medical care.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, nearly five million dog bites occur each year in the United States, and approximately one million of those people will require medical care, which can be lengthy and expensive to ensure they can fully heal from their injuries.

Children are more likely than adults to be bitten by a dog, which can lead to severe injuries requiring reconstructive surgery or extended care as they continue to grow. Dog bite injuries are complex, and our accomplished Las Vegas personal injury attorneys will determine the best strategy for your unique case.

Premises Liability & Slip and Fall Attorneys in Las Vegas, Nevada

Have you been hurt in a restaurant, night club, or another entertainment venue in Las Vegas because someone’s negligence compromised your safety? Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere. Slippery floors ripped rugs and floor mats, and even obstacles that are left for guests to trip over can cause serious injuries to the public.

The sudden and unexpected occurrence can lead to even more severe injuries because they happen without notice. When you are unable to work or require extensive medical care because of a neck, back, or head injury, you may be eligible to pursue a settlement — and we can help you seek the best financial outcome available for your case.

Las Vegas, Nevada Commercial Truck Accident Attorneys

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is responsible for maintaining the guidelines for truck drivers throughout the country, including licensing requirements and hours of service regulations that are designed to keep other drivers on the roadways safe from harm.

Unfortunately, negligence continues to play a large role in truck accidents in Nevada.

The NHTSA truck injury crash stats reported that last year throughout the U.S.:

Over 3900 people were killed
More than 111,000 people were injured
Approximately 73% of those killed in truck injury were occupants of other vehicles

When negligent truck drivers operate vehicles that can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, other drivers — in much smaller vehicles — are at an incredible disadvantage and can be seriously injured or lose their lives as the result of a collision.

Our Las Vegas personal injury lawyer wants to help you and your family recover fully by holding the truck’s driver, trucking company, manufacturer, or another third-party responsible for our clients’ damages.

Workers’ Compensation Lawyers in Las Vegas, Nevada

The State of Nevada requires all employers — except for sole proprietors who serve as their only employee — to carry workers’ compensation insurance to protect workers who are injured while at work.

Unfortunately, just because the no-fault insurance is required by the State of Nevada Department of Business and Industry, our Las Vegas workers' compensation attorneys know that not all employers hold up their end of the coverage when workers are hurt.

Whether you work on a construction site or in a restaurant, in an office or as an entertainer, your safety should be your employer’s priority. And when you are hurt at work, you should have access to medical care, wages, and the time away from work you need to heal fully.

Our personal injury lawyers in Las Vegas can help get you there faster by holding your employer responsible for your complete needs — not just the portion they decide to pay.

Personal Injury FAQ

Q:How Do I Know If I Have A Personal Injury Case?

A:If you have been hurt because of another person’s negligent actions or inactions, you may have a personal injury case that will allow you to pursue financial compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, and other damages, which is why you should hire a Las Vegas personal injury attorney to review your injuries and the negligent circumstances that caused them.
Q:How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?

A:Determining how much your Nevada personal injury case is worth requires a complete evaluation of your injuries and the medical care you will need now and going forward. We will also determine the complete extent of your economic damages, including lost wages and property damage, so you are not left paying for any expenses out of pocket. Each personal injury case is unique and requires a full investigation to ensure no detail is left to chance.
Q:How Long Does A Personal Injury Lawsuit Take To Reach A Settlement?

A:Since all personal injury cases are unique, your personal injury claim will produce results once all the facts are available to begin negotiations. Our Las Vegas personal injury lawyers will work directly with the negligent party’s insurance company to reach a quick resolution through a settlement negotiation or pursue your claim at trial.
Q:Will My Personal Injury Case Go To Trial?

A:Most personal injury cases do not proceed to trial. Most personal injury cases can be resolved through settlement negotiations. When those negotiations break down or our attorneys do not believe our clients are getting the best outcome, we have decades of legal experience to succeed inside the courtroom.
Q:How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?

A:In the State of Nevada, personal injury victims have two years from the date their injury occurred to file a personal injury claim. It is important to file a claim within the allotted time, or the courts will almost certainly – in nearly all cases – refuse an extension.
