Metal-on-metal hip implants are supposed to provide younger patients with a lasting, durable hip replacement. However, poorly designed implants can cause devastating complications, as any personal injury lawyer Las Vegas knows.

Knee replacement surgery is a somewhat common procedure in the United States.

In Nevada and around the country, the number of bicyclist traffic deaths is going up. Nevada Public Radio reported that between January and June 2015, seven people died while riding a bike in Clark County. That is an increase of four from 2012. Unfortunately, the rise in incidents is a national trend. According to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Association, there was a 19 percent increase in fatal accidents involving bicyclists between 2010 and 2013. Several organizations in the county are working to improve the statistics by increasing safety awareness for both motorists and bicyclists. The data indicate that progress may be an uphill climb.
