Construction accidents happen more frequently than many realize and victims deserve fair compensation when injured in an incident of this type, reports BighornLaw.com

Las Vegas, NV -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/13/2015 -- Although headlines such as "Homeowner Killed by Falling Wall at Construction Site" aren't overly common, accidents do happen during and following construction of a new building or remodeling of an existing one. When an accident of this type occurs, the injured parties and/or their families need someone to help them navigate the legal process. Bighorn Law, personal injury attorneys in Las Vegas, provide this type of help to ensure all parties receive fair compensation.

"Poor construction, unsecured heavy objects and faulty pipes are only three of the many ways one can be injured during or following construction. The contractor responsible for the job becomes accountable in situations such as this, when he or she did not ensure the structure was safe for occupancy . Railings that are too short or items not up to code account for other injuries of this type, and all deserve fair compensation," Ryan Anderson, spokesperson for Bighorn Law, explains.

Property owners often turn to the contractor when injured in an accident of this type, yet many other parties may be liable. One must determine if an engineer, an architect or a third party vendor played a role in the injury, as more than one party may be held responsible. Attorneys understand the complexity of these cases and work to determine who may be held accountable and how much compensation should be awarded.

Anderson goes on to say certain steps must be taken, in accordance with Nevada Chapter 40 Actions and Proceeding in Particular Cases Concerning Property. First and foremost, the property owner must contact the contractor and have him or her fix the damage to ensure the structure is safe. In the event the contractor learns of a defect from a third party, such as a subcontractor, he or she needs to let the property owner know immediately. The lawyer walks his or her client through the required steps to ensure none are overlooked.

In addition, the injured party needs to document all injuries. With the help of medical records, personal notes and photographs, the attorney begins determining fault in the case. Experts may need to be called in to help establish fault and medical doctors often have to be consulted. The attorney works with different parties to ensure no detail is overlooked.

"When an individual is injured in a construction accident, he or she needs to focus on their recovery. Doing so becomes difficult when one is trying to establish fault and ensure all medical bills are paid by the responsible party. No one should have to do this alone, which is why many turn to Bighorn Law where justice is created for clients every day," Anderson declares.

This law focuses on uninsured drivers and the amount injured parties may collect following a vehicle crash, announces BighornLaw.com

Las Vegas, NV -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/11/2015 -- In an effort to decrease the number of uninsured drivers in Nevada while lowering insurance premiums for those who do have insurance, Republican Assemblyman Pat Hickey has sponsored a bill which would limit the money collected by an injured party following a car crash to property and medical costs. Injured parties would no longer be in a position to collect noneconomic payouts, such as those for pain and suffering. Bighorn Law feels this measure is of concern as everyone is entitled to fair compensation when injured through no fault of their own.

"Certain exceptions have been laid out in the proposed law, such as an exception for wrongful death claims, Although no action has been taken on this bill in committee yet, all drivers in the state of Nevada need to be concerned about the impact it would have. The Nevada Justice Association estimates 12 percent of drivers within the state fail to have insurance, and that's approximately one in every eight vehicles on the road," Ryan Anderson, spokesperson for Bighorn Law, reports.

Justice isn't an abstract term, as the personal injury attorneys in las vegas like to point out. Justice is created on a daily basis for those who have been injured by another party, and Bighorn Law works to insure these injured parties receive adequate compensation. The attorneys provide advice, represent injured parties in court and fight for the rights of their clients. The team at Bighorn Law strives to reduce the stress the injured party is feeling.

One client suffered injuries following a rear end collision, Anderson explains. The medical expenses quickly mounted, yet the insurance company refused to pay for the required treatment. They offered the client $350,000, but the client opted to turn to Bighorn Law. Before the case made it to trial, the insurance company settled for $1,400,000. This is only one example of the results obtained by Bighorn Law for those who put their trust in the law firm.

The firm offers a free consultation to discuss one's case. Money problems often arise when one is injured in a car accident, and the firm understands this. They want to ensure every individual has access to legal advice when they need it most, and the free consultation is only one of the ways they make certain this is the case.

"Contact Bighorn Law today. No individual should be penalized in the event another party fails to maintain the proper insurance, yet this is exactly what the proposed law would do. Learn your rights and how to protect yourself from uninsured drivers. You can't be too careful, as there are many on the road who fail to live up to their obligations. Sadly, this could end up hurting you," Anderson declares.
