According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, American workers suffered 177,580 back injuries on the job in 2011. These accidents can cause years of pain, inconvenience, lost pay and high medical bills. Not all back injuries are immediately disabling. In many cases, employees will return to work shortly after an injury, only to face severe effects later. Nevada workers’ compensation law allows injured workers only a few months to claim disability after the initial date of injury. To avoid long-term problems and protect their own financial well-being, employees should take immediate action after suffering a back injury in the workplace.
Families place an incredible amount of trust in those who take care of their elderly relatives. In many cases, nursing homes are the best choice for certain people to be able to receive the constant care that they need. Despite their legal and ethical requirement to keep their elderly patients safe and with a high quality of life, the American Association of Retired People reports that many of the nation’s nursing homes are using antipsychotics as a means of controlling patients. A personal injury lawyer in Las Vegas knows that this illegal practice often results in disaster for patients and their families.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced that they will be adding automatic braking to their 5-star safety ratings. This is a move that will have a far reaching impact that will reduce injuries and save many lives over the coming years.
Millions of Americans are injured each year in various types of accidents that may have been caused by another person’s negligence. Automobile collisions, slip-and-falls, commercial truck accidents, medical errors and even defective products can cause minor to severe injuries that have a major impact on peoples’ lives. Not only are the injuries themselves physically and emotionally traumatizing, people may be forced to deal with the financial repercussions of these injuries. A personal injury attorney in Las Vegas knows that the financial, physical and emotional effects of an injury can change the life of an accident victim.
