Personal Injury Lawyer Sunrise Manor

Medical Malpractice

Negligence should not occur in any industry, more so in the medical field. It can be concerning to know the professionals you trust to help you regain your health can worsen your condition. 

Cases of medical malpractice can result in serious injuries and, in some cases, death.

Medical malpractice can stem from a diagnostic error, surgical error, birth injury, medication error, failure to refer, and poor follow-up care.

The laws surrounding medical malpractice are different from other personal injury cases. Firstly, the professional standards of the medical service provider will be considered, and you need to obtain an affidavit of merit from a medical expert to file a claim. Additionally, the amount one can receive for non-economic damages in these cases is usually capped.  

Our attorneys will help you understand all the laws that apply to your case and gather the needed evidence to prove the negligence of the medical professional in question.

Premises Liability

Property owners in Nevada (both commercial and residential) must ensure their properties are reasonably safe for their customers and guests. Provided a property owner invites you to their property, they owe you a duty of care. For instance, when you are a guest at a hotel or a customer in a grocery store. Thus, property owners do not owe a duty of care to trespassers.

A property owner may be held liable for an accident on their property caused by a hazard they knew or should have known of. If you slip and fall due to a spill on a grocery store floor and sustain injuries, the owner of the store may need to compensate you. If a fire breaks out in a property and you sustain an injury, you may hold the property owner liable if it’s determined negligence led to the fire. 

Catastrophic Injury

A catastrophic injury is any permanent injury that significantly impacts your life, such as brain damage, amputation, spinal cord injuries, and severe burns. You can sustain a catastrophic injury in any accident. 

Since a catastrophic injury permanently affects your ability to work or live as you did before, you need to consider future economic damages, as you will be dealing with ongoing medical expenses and major limitations in daily activities. At Adam S. Kutner, Injury Attorneys, we will help you assess different aspects to determine the appropriate value for your compensation.

Wrongful Death Attorney

Losing a loved one in any circumstance is painful. However, the pain can intensify when the death is caused by someone else’s negligence. If you are the personal representative of the deceased’s estate or a close surviving heir, you can file a wrongful death lawsuit in Nevada and fight for the rights of your loved one. Our lawyers help family members to understand the basis of their case and the damages to claim.

Slip and Fall

Slip-and-fall accidents are one of the types of premises liability cases we handle in Sunrise Manor. If you slip and fall on another person’s property due to a spill, poor lighting, uneven floor surface, missing handrails, or any other hazard, we can help you receive compensation to cover the damages you may have incurred as a result.

Workers’ Compensation

If you sustain a work-related injury and your employer lacks insurance coverage, or their insurance company denies your claim or refuses to compensate you fairly, you can file a personal injury claim. You can also take this route in addition to filing a workers’ compensation claim if your injury was caused by your employer’s negligence.

Other Personal Injury Claims

In addition to the above-discussed cases, our Sunrise Manor personal injury law firm also handles pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents, product liability, truck accidents, and boat accidents.
