Complex spinal cord injury cases require special attention
On Behalf of Bradley, Drendel & Jeanney • Mar 25, 2015
The spinal cord is one of the most amazing, intricate and unknown areas of the human body. It serves as the central nervous system “hub” and it is responsible for housing most of the sensations associated within the human body. If the spinal cord suffers an injury, it could render it unable to do its job properly. This could leave a person, who is the victim of a personal injury accident, with a long term spinal cord injury.

A personal injury accident, such as a car accident, could render a person with an injury as minor as whiplash or as serious as paralysis. This is why it is so important to take spinal cord injuries seriously and to investigate them thoroughly.

It has been days or weeks since the devastating truck accident that left you or loved ones with severe injuries. Now that your health is somewhat stabilized, you are wondering what comes next? Although you may suspect that the truck driver or truck company is completely, or at least partially, responsible for the accident, you still need to prove fault. There are a few things you will need to show in order to prove it.

Since this case is considered a personal injury case, the proof of fault will rest on proving negligence. Negligence is defined as fault due to the failure to practice reasonable care that then resulted in injury. To prove this you, the plaintiff in this case, will need to demonstrate the three tiers of negligence. These tiers in order are lack of exercising reasonable care, failed to exercise reasonable care and the result of this failure directly resulted in injury to the plaintiff.

Sometimes the most difficult point to prove is the first which is the truck driver or truck company did not exercise a reasonable care to avoid injury to others. Why is this difficult to prove? This is because it can be sometimes difficult to prove that a driver was operating the truck at a speed too dangerous for road conditions, for example. This is because a thorough investigation by both experts and law enforcement will need to be conducted in order to determine this is the cause of the truck accident.

Without this proof; the other two points of the three point tiers of negligence are pointless. You must prove all three in order to win a personal injury case resulting from negligence in a truck accident. Remember, the truck driver himself or the truck company can be completely or partially liable for any injury that has come to you or a loved one. There are many reasons that a truck can lose control and cause injury to those around it.

The basic laws of physics deem that tractor trucks and semi-trailers, just to name a few, are more likely to cause bigger and more serious accidents than regular passenger vehicles. This does not mean that these types of vehicles get into accidents more often. Instead it means that when these types of vehicles are involved in an accident, the accident is more serious. For instance, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation, truck accidents were responsible for the death of nearly 5,000 people in 2006. There were also 106,000 cases of injury associated with trucking accidents in the same year.

Why do these accidents happen? There can be many causes. One of those causes is jackknifing. Jackknifing occurs when a tractor with a trailer folds into a ‘V’ shape causing the vehicle to skid or lose control. For example, an eighteen wheeler could easily jackknife if the vehicle is traveling too fast for slippery conditions. The trailer would then begin to move independently from the tractor causing the truck to lose control.

After a truck accident many people aren’t sure where to turn. This is because there can be many parties involved with a truck accident. For example, the driver may be at fault if he or she was driving erratically. Or the trucking company could be at fault because the load they were hauling was too heavy for legal limits. There could also be a claim made with the company of the product the truck driver was hauling if it is not packaged safely according to legal statutes.

These show just three potential parties that could be connected to a truck accident. Who is to blame for yours? This answer may prove to be difficult to discern since oftentimes each party involved in the accident can begin to point fingers and blame the other. Certainly a substantial amount of research and investigation should go into discovering the truth.

Most car accident s fall into one of only a few different categories. For example, rear-end accidents are very common. However, other types of car accidents do happen. For this reason, it is important to be aware of all types of car accident situations that can occur.

Emergency vehicles were called to the scene of Rainbow and Tropicana in Las Vegas last week. Two vehicles were involved in a head-on collision. According to reports, a Volkswagen was driving south on Rainbow when a Hyundai Santa Fe crossed over the median into the southbound lane, striking the Volkswagen head-on. The accident caused significant damage to both vehicles and left both drivers with injuries.

This incident is currently under investigation by authorities and to date, no charges have been filed or citations reported. However, this incident and others like this, are usually a result of negligence on the part of one or both drivers. If reports are correct, the driver who left their lane and swerved into another may very well be held accountable for the accident. Any lawsuits or charges that may be filed against that driver will likely be filed on the basis of negligence.

This accident happened in the blink of an eye. One minute the Volkswagen was cruising along Rainbow, and the next, she had collided head on with another vehicle. More than likely, she wasn’t expecting what happened. It isn’t known if this accident could have been avoided, but if other drivers are driving with awareness it is possible that they could prevent this type of accident from happening. This could be done by preventing a driver from swerving into the oncoming lane, or by the second driver swerving out of the way of the other vehicle’s path at the last second.

The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) goals are twofold when it comes to protecting and serving the nation. Firstly, they seek to prevent accidents, injuries and fatalities related to car accidents. Secondly, they intend to investigate the accidents that occur to better understand what caused them. This, in hopes, will address their first goal of preventing injuries and fatalities on Nevada roads and around the nation. Data compiled by NHTSA hints to why hit-and-run car accidents occur.

Certain things found in a recent investigation were no-brainers. For example, an accident with a pedestrian and a motor vehicle is more likely to happen at night than during the day. Naturally, there is less visibility for drivers and pedestrians alike, which can result in a bad situation. However, there are several facts compiled by NHTSA that are key to understanding and preventing hit-and-run accidents between motor vehicle and pedestrian.

Thankfully, pedestrian hit-and-run accidents have decreased from the years of 1997 and 2006. Nonetheless, the probability that the pedestrian involved in the accident losing their life increased. Correlated to that, the higher the Blood Alcohol Concentration of an impaired driver, the greater the likelihood the pedestrian will be killed in the accident. This proves that alcohol impaired drivers are a huge risk to pedestrians.

The best piece of evidence that can be taken away from the NHTSA’s report is that pedestrian deaths can be prevented. This can be done by driver’s choosing not to get behind the wheel after consuming alcohol. If all drivers did this, it is almost guaranteed that pedestrian deaths would decrease. In the meantime, pedestrians should be aware of their surroundings at all times, especially at night.

After the sudden death of a loved one, you can be living in a state of shock and instability. Even though this is a stressful time, it is crucial to explore your legal options during this period. This is because if a loved one’s death was due to the negligence of another, there is limited time as to when you can file for a wrongful death suit in the state of Nevada. The lawyers at Bradley, Drendel and Jeanney are standing by to aid you and your family during this process.

If a loved one was killed in a drunk driving accident , there could be good reason to explore a wrongful death lawsuit. If a driver was intoxicated at the time of the accident, he or she did not exercise reasonable care, which could be found to be a direct cause for your loved one’s death. Every person on the road is held accountable to a standard of reasonable care.

Depending on the circumstances of your loved one’s death, there could be several reasons to seek compensation related to the incident. There are likely high medical or funeral costs associated with your loved one’s death. Also, all future losses should be considered such as loss of wages that would have supported a family of the person who lost their life too soon.

We believe in fighting for your rights if you were wronged by another party. The attorneys at our firm have years of experience in handling these kinds of cases. Wrongful death does not just affect the person who lost their life, it also impacts the family unit and changes the lives of everyone involved.
