Bicycling is fun and a great way to exercise and enjoy the outdoors. Bikes have the same rights as cars on the road but some drivers don’t respect the rules. And when accidents happen, the injuries are severe.
We had a case where a bicyclist was hit by a bus, causing her to go flying off her bike and require emergency care. The bus company claimed she wasn’t in the bike lane and even tried to say she wasn’t hit by the bus, despite having video. We took them to court and held them responsible, getting a great settlement for our client. If you’ve been hurt in a bike accident, give us a call.
BIRTH INJURIES
Cases involving birth injuries and delivery errors often demand meticulous investigation and specialized expertise.
Attorneys in this field work tirelessly to hold healthcare providers accountable for negligence during childbirth, seeking justice and compensation for families affected by preventable harm to infants or mothers. These cases can involve a range of complications, from medical malpractice during labor to errors in prenatal care, requiring attorneys to collaborate closely with medical experts to build strong cases on behalf of their clients.
Successful resolution of birth injury and delivery error cases often involves advocating for lifelong care and support for the affected child, addressing their ongoing medical needs and financial burdens. Personal injury attorneys specializing in birth injury and delivery error cases understand the profound emotional toll these incidents can take on families and are dedicated to providing compassionate legal representation throughout the litigation process.
Through skillful negotiation or aggressive litigation, they strive to secure compensation that enables families to access necessary medical treatments, therapies, and support services.
BOATING ACCIDENT
It’s summer in Vegas and boating season. Boats can be very dangerous and accidents happen. We had a case where a group of friends wanted to enjoy the day at the lake with a boat. The driver enjoyed it the wrong way and was drinking throughout the day. When landing at a beach to meet his friends, instead of slowing down, he gunned the engine, running over one of his friends with his boat, causing severe injuries.
He tried to blame his friend on the beach. We took him to court and held him responsible, forcing his insurance company and their lawyers to settle for the maximum after 5 days of trial. If you’ve been hurt in a boat accident, give us a call.

How Can An Attorney Help When A Loved One Suffers A Traumatic Brain Injury?
An attorney will help you hold the party at fault accountable by filing a personal injury claim. Our lawyers at Simon Law have years of experience fighting for persons who suffered TBIs due to someone’s recklessness. As stated before, traumatic brain injuries come with a huge medical cost. You should, therefore, recover these costs from the person who caused your loved one’s accident. A lawyer will assess your case and advise on how much you can seek in damages. After that, they will do all they can to get you that settlement. That will ensure you don’t have to worry about money when taking care of your loved one.

Contact A Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer At Simon Law.
TBI cases can be won or lost depending on what you do following an accident. At Simon Law we advise you first get your loved one to a hospital. Having them examined will confirm if they suffered a traumatic brain injury. Taking them to the hospital will help with your personal injury claims as well. The doctor’s report will be used as evidence of injuries during settlement talks. Good legal representation will help fast-track this process. A personal Injury Law Firm will use their experience in TBI lawsuits to make the insurer pay the maximum compensation.
If they fail to do so, we are prepared to file a lawsuit in court. We will gather sufficient evidence and build a strong case showing negligence. A lawyer at the beginning of your case is necessary to preserve the evidence from the Defendant, and if a large corporation, will likely destroy the material evidence shortly after the accident.

DELIVERY TRUCK INJURY
The increased purchasing of products through the internet means an increase in deliveries. In the Personal Injury Law industry, delivery truck accidents pose unique challenges due to the potential severity of injuries and complexities surrounding liability. Attorneys specializing in this area need to understand regulations, insurance policies, and corporate responsibilities to secure just compensation for victims harmed in collisions involving delivery vehicles. Securing evidence from the vehicles and the company at the outset is paramount.
These accidents can result from various factors, including driver negligence, vehicle malfunctions, or inadequate training, underscoring the need for thorough investigation and legal expertise to establish liability.
Attorneys handling delivery truck accident cases should also understand the potential long-term consequences of such incidents, including medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional trauma.

DOG BITE INJURY
According to the United States Humane Society, about 47 percent of households in America own at least one dog. Unfortunately, not all of these dog owners are as responsible as they should be when it comes to the safety of their community.
Whether intentional or not, personal injury from a dog bite can be devastating and owners must be held accountable for the actions of their pets. While homeowners insurance might cover some of the financial loss associate with a dog bite, it is often necessary to seek the representation of an experienced attorney in order to be fully compensated.
No matter how much an owner insists that their dog is friendly, the fact is that animals are unpredictable, and any animal can bite under the right circumstances.
Owners are legally obligated to keep their animals restrained on all public property, including parks not specifically designated as dog parks. If you’ve been bitten or attacked by a dog, hold the responsible parties accountable for their actions and get the compensation you deserve.

INJURED ON ANOTHER'S PROPERTY
Accidents can occur unexpectedly, and the ensuing physical and financial damages can be difficult to sort out, especially if these accidents occur on someone else’s property. If you sustain a personal injury on someone else’s property, you may be entitled to compensation. A premises liability attorney in Las Vegas can help evaluate your case and pursue compensation if needed.
Premises liabilities can stem from owner negligence of hazardous materials, swimming pools, animals and other factors. Injuries resulting from these types of accidents can result in physical injury, emotional trauma or missed work. Property owners have a legal obligation to minimize these risks, and failure to do so could warrant a personal injury lawsuit.
There are many factors to consider when mounting a premises liability case. For example, being injured on someone else’s property does not automatically mean the owner is legally liable for your injury. To have a successful case, you must show proof of the owner’s negligence – a task that is not always easy to do. That’s why it’s crucial to speak with an experienced attorney as soon as possible.
Without proper representation, insurance companies may jump on the opportunity to dismiss your claim. To bring justice for those responsible for your injuries, you need aggressive legal representation.
INSURANCE BAD FAITH
Cases of insurance bad faith occur when insurance companies fail to fulfill their obligations to policyholders in a reasonable and fair manner.
Simon Law advocates for clients who have been wronged by insurance companies, seeking to hold them accountable for their actions and secure rightful compensation for denied claims, delayed payments, or other breaches of contract. Insurance bad faith cases often require meticulous investigation and strategic legal action to uncover evidence of unfair practices and compel insurance companies to fulfill their contractual duties to policyholders.
The Insurance Company’s conduct is regulated. An experienced attorney will be able to find violations and hold the insurance company accountable for choosing its financial interests above its insured.
The Insurance company must make decisions based on information that supports the claim. In an attempt to reduce the value of its claim so it makes more money, the insurance company will intentionally ignore reliable information supporting payment to reduce the amount owed. This is a breach of the insurance contract and is bad faith.
Through skilled negotiation or litigation, Simon Law seeks to not only secure compensation for our clients but also to set precedents that deter unfair practices in the insurance industry, ultimately promoting accountability and consumer protection. By advocating for transparency and fairness, Simon Law play a vital role in upholding the integrity of insurance contracts and ensuring justice for policyholders.

PERSONAL INJURY
Accidents and Injuries can happen at anytime, and the danger might not be as far from home as you think. Life changing events can occur from dangerous products, car and truck accidents, burns, assaults, falls, ice on sidewalks, or falling objects.
Many companies do not properly maintain their premises and rarely follow safety procedures which oftentimes causes severe injuries. Personal Injury is defined as an injury to the body or mind. It can be caused on purpose (in the case of an assault or just having a conscious disregard for the consequences) or occur due to a third party’s negligence (failure to provide safe circumstances, as in the case of an employer with unsafe work conditions or a property owner who fails to inspect and secure their property).
Aside from obtaining the best medical care possible, what can you do about personal injury? The answer is simple – fight back. State laws give personal injury victims a limited amount of time to seek justice by filing a personal injury lawsuit with the hopes of obtaining compensation for expenses such as medical bills, future medical expenses, loss of earnings, and payment for emotional suffering and loss of enjoyment of life due to personal injury.
Time is of the essence to investigate and preserve evidence even before filing a lawsuit. It is in the best interest of injuried victims to seek professional help to obtain the best results to provide the financial security you will need for the remainder of your life.

Through skilled negotiation or litigation, they strive to obtain compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages incurred by the injured parties. Ultimately, product liability attorneys play a critical role in holding corporations accountable for prioritizing consumer safety over profit margins.
SLIP & FALL ACCIDENT
Slip and fall accident lawyers know that a fall injury can be very serious and may perhaps even be fatal.
While slipping or tripping in a store, restaurant, home or public area may not seem like a big deal, but it is a very serious problem. big corporations and landlords have a legal duty to keep the premises reasonably safe. When they don't you could have a valuable claim. More than 1 million people every single year go to an emergency room as a result of slip and fall accidents.
Unfortunately, many of these victims suffer brain injury, spinal cord damage, bone fractures or even death.
If you or a loved one sustained injuries in a slip and fall, you need to understand your legal rights and you need to take action against the property owner or renter who was responsible for your fall.

SWIMMING POOL ACCIDENT
Are pool owners responsible for accidents?
