Traffic Violations
Every year, there are dozens of pedestrians who are killed or injured in crashes in the city and surrounding areas. To be sure, in a single year, there were more than five dozens reported pedestrian fatalities in Las Vegas, a number that does not include the number of serious injury crashes involving pedestrians. Officials report that actions like speeding, driver inattention, and alcohol impairment have all contributed to an uptick in the number of pedestrian crashes.
Misdemeanors
Those whose animals have been deemed to be dangerous or vicious must comply with certain laws, which vary depending on the specific ordinances in the city. It is not uncommon, however, for city law to require owners of these types of animals to keep their dogs muzzled in public, post warning signs on their property, obtain a microchip for the animal, purchase a higher liability policy, or keep the dog enclosed on their property. Failing to comply with these rules can result in misdemeanor charges and jail time, and could also render the animal’s owner negligent per se under state law.
This is a common question for many people after they’ve been injured. Too often, we see people who place faith in the insurance companies and expect that they can handle their claim on their own. Then, when an insurance company refuses to pay a claim, or wants to settle for much less than what’s owed, they worry that it’s too late to hire an attorney. If you are wondering if you need a personal injury attorney, it’s likely the answer is yes. Calling us is free and it doesn’t hurt to check with a professional. If your claim doesn’t need an attorney, you can trust us to point you in the right direction. If you have been injured, or you have a loved one who was injured or killed in an accident or due to negligence, please call us. We’ll evaluate your case for free and you’re under no obligation to work with us. If you have been in an automobile accident and the accident was not your fault and you were not cited for the accident, call us immediately. We will move quickly to protect your interests. You can bet that the opposing party’s insurance company will be working quickly to protect theirs, especially if they were working for a large company such as Amazon, FedEx, or Uber. Don’t delay calling an attorney if you were injured under these circumstances. We handle workers compensation cases for those who are injured on the job, even if you are a union worker. Many times, unions will refer you to an attorney but please understand that you are under no obligation to work with that union lawyer. We are able to represent union workers in their workers compensation cases. Many people are concerned that when hiring a personal injury attorney that the damages they recover simply go towards paying attorney fees. At Henness & Haight, we promise no fees unless we obtain a recovery for you. Plus, we also promise that your portion of any pre-lawsuit settlement will be equal to or greater than our fee, even if we must reduce our fee to make sure that happens. We’ll put our guarantee in writing when you hire us.
If you were injured because of dangerous conditions on property, Nevada law does provide you with legal remedies to recover compensation for your losses. However, when the claims process involves an insurance company, you can expect challenges in getting the monetary damages you deserve by law. Instead of trying to represent yourself, trust our team at Henness & Haight to assist with your claim. Please contact our office to set up a no-cost case evaluation with a Las Vegas premises liability lawyer who can fight for your rights.
