While small cracks in car windshields may not appear to be much more than cosmetic issues, they can cause motor vehicle accidents and may raise the risk of serious injuries in a crash. It is important for people to get windshield damage repaired as soon as possible. A car’s windshield helps protect the occupants in front-end collisions and serves an important role in the proper deployment of side airbags. People who are involved in rollover accidents are also likelier to suffer injuries when their windshields are cracked.
Some Nevadans who either seek inpatient mental health treatment on their own or who are civilly committed are subjected to neglect and abuse in the facilities, which can lead to suffering, pain, and death. There have been incidents of reported abuse and neglect within mental health facilities across the U.S. Victims of abuse and neglect in mental health facilities may be able to recover damages and to hold the responsible parties accountable for their actions.
Nevada personal injury law includes a subcategory that covers intentional torts, which are wrongful actions that cause harm to others and that are done purposefully. Unlike actions that are the result of negligence, intentional torts must include an element of intent. Many intentional torts may be prosecuted criminally in addition to civil actions that may be filed against the defendants. There are several types of intentional torts, including fraud, assault, battery, conversion, trespassing, and false imprisonment.
Nevadans who work in the construction industry may use hand-held tools that vibrate, which may cause them to develop a debilitating condition called hand-arm vibration syndrome. This condition can prevent people from returning to their jobs. Workers who use vibrating tools such as jackhammers for long periods of time may develop numerous problems, including damage to their nerves, circulation, and muscles. This may lead to them experiencing numbness, tingling, and pain and cause difficulties for them to grip objects. Workers who develop these conditions may be entitled to recover workers’ compensation to pay for medical expenses. If they are disabled, they may also recover ongoing disability payments while they are unable to return to their jobs.
