Boating Accidents

While boating on Lake Mead or one of the other beautiful recreational lakes near Las Vegas, it is easy to forget that all motorized watercraft are potentially dangerous vehicles just like automobiles. Emergency response is regularly called to the scene of a Lake Mead boating accident to rush victims to the hospital, and usually the accident is the direct result of someone’s failure to follow procedure and/or laws. From the actual operator of the boat at the time of the accident, all the way back to the company that built it, there are a multitude of people who have the potential to create a dangerous situation on the water. If a loved one or you yourself have suffered injury due to drunk boating, incorrect boat maintenance, or faulty construction, the responsible party should pay to cover all your resulting expenses. In most cases, the help of a personal injury lawyer is necessary to convince or litigate a fair settlement that is sufficient to help you get back on your feet.

Electrical Injuries

Although electricity makes our lives better in a huge number of ways, it is also a potentially lethal danger. We rely on electricity to heat our homes, power our appliances, and even illuminate the desert sky over Las Vegas with a city full of lights. If business owners, city officials, and electric utility companies do not secure electrical wires in a way that protects the public from danger, they expose people to the risk of suffering a long list of injuries through electrical shock. Las Vegas electrical injury lawyers are able to listen to the story of your accident and determine whether negligence was a major factor in it. If an individual or company carelessly placed you or a loved one in harm’s way, they are responsible to pay for the expenses of recovery and lost work.

Spinal Cord Injuries

One of the worst events that could happen to a resident or visitor to Las Vegas is a spinal cord injury. Most of the time, injury to the spinal cord occurs when the victim is involved in an auto accident and experiences trauma to the back or neck. In an instant, a driver’s carelessness through drinking and driving; texting or using the phone; or simply disregarding traffic rules can change the rest of a victim’s life by causing a devastating injury. In the time immediately following your accident, a Las Vegas personal injury lawyer can collect the evidence and the statements from eyewitnesses that will prove negligence and win you a fast, fair settlement.

ATV/Recreational Vehicle Accidents

Off-roading is one of the hottest new outdoor sporting trends in the United States. With hundreds of square miles of rugged terrain surrounding the city, Las Vegas is a hotspot for riders looking for a combination of adventure and exciting nightlife. Of course, wearing a helmet and other protective equipment is a responsible precaution, but they only provide a limited amount of defense. Each year, ATV accidents in Las Vegas put people in the hospital and even lead to fatality. National statistics show that the rate of accidents suffered while riding recreational vehicles is far too high, indicating that loose industry standards; inadequate warnings and guidelines for use; and dangerous vehicle construction all contribute to these devastating incidents. In 2011 alone, several rollover accidents in the Las Vegas area made it into national news sources and resulted in personal injury lawsuits claiming damages for recovery costs, wrongful death, and lost wages.
