Our Personal Injury Practice Areas In Macdonald Highlands
We help people injured in different circumstances. Here are some of the practice areas we offer in our Macdonald Highlands personal injury law firm.
Auto Accident
Road users owe each other a duty of care. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. A driver you are sharing the road with may act in a negligent manner. They may be drunk, aggressive, distracted, or exhausted, which can lead to them making a mistake that can harm you.
For instance, a drunk driver has impaired judgment. They may miscalculate distance, ignore traffic lights and signals, or tailgate you, which can increase the chances of an accident happening.
If another driver hits you, causing you to sustain injuries, a Henderson auto accident lawyer can help you by guiding you on what to do after the accident and fighting for your rights.
Personal Injury
If someone owes you a duty of care and they breach that duty of care, resulting in injuries, a personal injury lawyer can help you determine the best way forward.
A personal injury case can stem from different situations, including an accident on the road, or being injured on someone’s property. You may also have grounds for a personal injury claim when a healthcare professional fails to offer you standard care.
Motorcycle Accident
Some drivers usually misjudge a motorcycle’s distance and speed. Accordingly, they act in a way that endangers the motorcyclist. A driver may turn at an intersection believing a motorcycle is far behind, but this may not be the case. Before they complete the turn, the motorcyclist may catch up with them, and they may not have the space or time to stop, crashing into the vehicle.
Other causes of motorcycle accidents by negligent drivers include failing to yield to motorcycles, turning or changing lanes without checking for motorcycles, speeding, drunk driving, and distracted driving.
Motorcycle accidents can be dangerous due to inadequate protection. A motorcyclist is more likely to suffer serious injuries when involved in an accident.
Our team is dedicated to helping victims injured in motorcycle accidents recover the damages they suffer.
Medical Malpractice
Medical errors should never happen, but they do. A healthcare professional may fail to exercise reasonable care when providing you with medical services. For example, a doctor may make a diagnostic error, and fail to diagnose you (missed diagnosis), give you a wrong diagnosis (misdiagnosis), or fail to diagnose you on time (delayed diagnosis). If such an error happens, you can file a medical malpractice claim against your physician.
Other examples of medical malpractice include:
- Surgical errors (Wrong person/wrong body part/wrong surgery, anesthesia errors, leaving a foreign object inside the patient, and performing an unnecessary surgery.)
- Medication errors (Giving a patient a wrong prescription, a wrong dosage, or a wrong medication.)
- Failure to refer
- Premature discharge
Any professional who agrees to offer you services in a healthcare setting will owe you a duty of care. Thus, breaching that duty of care can be considered medical malpractice. Our injury lawyer in Macdonald Highlands, Henderson, can help you determine if you have a case.
Premises Liability
If you sustain an injury on someone else’s property, they may be required by law to compensate you. A residential or commercial property owner must keep their property reasonably safe and warn others of any hazards on the property that they know or should know about.
Different factors contribute to accidents on a property. These include inadequate lighting, poorly maintained stairs, lack of restraint on an aggressive dog, poorly maintained elevators, and inadequate security measures.
If you are injured on someone else’s property in Henderson, NV, our lawyers can help you receive just compensation.
Catastrophic Injury
An injury that significantly impacts your life, for instance, one that causes a permanent disability or requires long-term medical care, is considered a catastrophic injury. Cases involving this type of injury must be handled carefully, seeing that the victim may be asking for a significant amount in compensation, as they may never be able to perform any gainful work.
Wrongful Death Attorney
A wrongful death is a death that occurs due to another party’s negligence or intentional misconduct. The deceased’s loved ones can pursue a wrongful death claim, which should be filed by the personal representative of the deceased’s estate.
A Henderson personal injury lawyer can help your family recover compensation for lost income, medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, loss of benefits, pain and suffering, loss of consortium (companionship), punitive damages, and more.
Slip and Fall
A slip-and-fall accident can result in broken bones, head injuries, shoulder dislocations, spinal cord injuries, and soft tissue damage, among other injuries. Thus, if you slip and fall on someone’s property, it’s wise to learn more about your options sooner than later.
If the accident occurred due to negligence, you may be eligible for compensation.
Workers Compensation
When an employee is injured at work, they need to file a workers’ compensation claim to be compensated by the employer’s insurance. However, if their claim is unfairly denied, or the injury was caused by intentional misconduct or gross negligence, they may have grounds to file a personal injury claim. This may also be the case if an employee is injured at work by a third party, not the employer.
Other Injury Claims
Other personal injury areas we are experienced in include the following:

Personal Injury Frequently Asked Questions
What Evidence Do I Need When Filing A Personal Injury Claim?
Any piece of evidence that can prove the four elements of a personal injury claim can strengthen your case. Examples include medical records, police reports, photos of the incident and your injuries, witness statements, and receipts related to medical expenses and lost income. You should also write down notes about your daily pain levels and limitations to prove pain and suffering.
It’s crucial to seek medical help immediately to link your injury to the incident. Waiting too long to receive treatment can affect the effectiveness of your evidence because the other side may argue you were exposed to different elements after the incident, which may have led to or worsened your injury.
Will My Case Go To Court?
A personal injury case does not need to go to court. Your attorney may negotiate a fair settlement with the other party’s insurance company through negotiation. However, if you can’t agree, perhaps the insurer refuses to give you just compensation, your lawyer may need to go to court to help you receive what you deserve.
Do I Need An Attorney When Filing A Personal Injury Claim?
Although you are not required to have an attorney when filing a personal injury claim, it’s strongly recommended. An attorney can help you navigate crucial deadlines. Missing a deadline can affect your eligibility to receive compensation in these cases.
An attorney can also help you when gathering evidence. They know the right pieces of evidence to gather to build a strong case. Thus, they will guide you on the details to collect.
Further, some personal injury cases can be complicated. For example, those involving a catastrophic injury or multiple liable parties. An attorney can help you considerably in such cases by applying their expertise and working with other professionals, such as accident reconstructionists, medical professionals, and financial experts, to provide you with valuable guidance.
Additionally, personal injury attorneys are skilled in negotiation. The other party’s insurance company will come to the table with different tactics to get you to accept a lower settlement. Having a lawyer by your side protects you from this possibility because they can identify those strategies and combat them. This way, you can be fairly compensated.
And if you and the other party can’t agree on just compensation, your attorney can represent you in court. They will help you navigate the legal procedures and paperwork to protect your interests.
