Why You Need to Document Daily Challenges After a Brain Injury (And How to Do It)
Recovering from a brain injury isn’t like recovering from a broken bone. You can’t simply rest for six weeks and return to normal life. The effects of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be unpredictable, invisible, and deeply personal, impacting memory, mood, concentration, sleep, and even personality. All too often, brain injury victims face… Read More »
What Makes an Injury ‘Catastrophic’ and Why It Changes Everything in Court
Not all injuries are created equal. A sprained wrist from a car accident is painful, but with proper treatment, life goes back to normal. A spinal cord injury, traumatic brain damage, or loss of a limb, however, is a completely different story. These are considered catastrophic injuries: life-altering events that fundamentally change how you… Read More »
Can You Sue for Falling on a Public Sidewalk?
We walk on them every day without thinking. Sidewalks outside stores, parks, schools, and office buildings. But when a sidewalk is cracked, uneven, or poorly maintained, one wrong step can lead to a serious fall and lasting injuries. So here’s the big question: “Can you sue if you fall on a public sidewalk in… Read More »
Drowsy Truck Drivers: How Hours-of-Service Violations Prove Negligence
When an 80,000-pound semi-truck collides with a passenger vehicle, the outcome is almost always devastating. Victims often suffer catastrophic injuries, lifelong disabilities, or worse. While speeding, distracted driving, and poor maintenance all cause trucking accidents, one of the most dangerous and overlooked factors is driver fatigue. Federal and state laws are designed to prevent… Read More »
Turbulence Injuries: Airline Duty of Care and Foreseeability
You’ve heard the script: “Turbulence happens. Buckle up.” True — but also incomplete. Airlines aren’t weather gods, but they aren’t helpless either. When a carrier ignores warnings, delays the seatbelt sign, or keeps the cabin service rolling into a known chop zone, “just turbulence” becomes preventable injury. That’s negligence. And under Nevada law, you… Read More »
Child Pedestrian Cases: Duty of Care and Damages
Kids don’t read traffic. They chase a ball. They run to a friend. They forget the curb exists. That’s predictable. Which is why Nevada law expects adults — drivers, schools, property owners — to anticipate child behavior and act accordingly. When they don’t, and a child is hurt, “accident” stops being a defense. It… Read More »
Design Defect vs. Manufacturing Defect: Choosing Your Theory
Not every bad product fails the same way. And if you pick the wrong theory, the defense will make you chase your tail. The core question in a Nevada product case is simple: “Was the product dangerously designed, or did this particular unit come off the line wrong?” Choose correctly, and you turn “accident”… Read More »
Shared Fault Arguments in Car Accident Scenarios and How to Defeat Them
Insurers love the shared-fault story. Why? Because in Nevada, your recovery drops by your percentage of fault — and if they can push you over 50%, you get nothing. That’s NRS 41.141 in action (modified comparative negligence). The playbook is predictable. But if you move fast and build the right evidence, you can counter… Read More »
