Personal injuries describe various situations in which you are injured because someone else acted negligently, recklessly, or intentionally. The legal premise behind personal injuries is that the party who caused your physical, emotional, and financial losses should pay you through an insurance settlement or damages award if you bring your claim to court.
You have one chance to become whole after an accident. Do not rely on the responsible party’s insurance company to play fair because their business model is to minimize your claim and pay as little as possible by telling you your injuries are not serious or that you contributed to them. Call a Boulder City personal injury lawyer to make the most of that one chance now. When you work with our dedicated injury attorneys, you pay no fees unless we win.
Most personal injuries are based on negligence. Legally, there are four elements that your attorney must prove. All people have a duty to act reasonably. Breaching that duty means the defendant acted below a reasonable standard. If these actions directly cause an accident, and someone is injured, the behavior is negligent.
The most common personal injuries come from motor vehicle accidents involving cars, trucks, motorcyclists, pedestrians, and bicyclists. These accidents are caused by a variety of reasons, including:
Our skilled Boulder City personal injury attorneys fight for Nevada victims. We oversee claims in the court system or negotiate with insurers to hold the at-fault party responsible for compensating you. We offer services in English and Spanish.
Medical malpractice occurs when a physician or other medical professional breaches the duty to render aid like a reasonable medical professional and directly causes an injury to a patient. Fifteen percent of personal injuries are due to medical malpractice, such as substandard surgeries, administering the wrong medications, wrongly diagnosing a condition, and nursing home abuse.
When consumers purchase a product, they expect it will perform as intended. If it does not, and they are injured, a personal injury has occurred. When a product’s value outweighs its dangers, such as in the pharmaceutical industry, warnings may be sufficient. These claims are brought under negligence or strict liability.
The law assigns different categories to visitors, from trespassers who are only owed a duty of care if they are children, to licensees who are social visitors, to invitees who visit a commercial venture for the mutual benefit between the consumer and owner. Some examples of personal injuries on property include falling down an unlit stairway in an apartment building, being attacked in a parking lot with no lighting or security, or slipping in a puddle of water at the grocery store.
If an employee behaves inappropriately and injures a coworker, or an employer fails to properly train an employee, personal injuries at work occur. These are common in construction and other physically demanding professions.
