Soft Tissue Injuries
Las Vegas personal injury lawyers will tell you that soft tissue injuries are some of the most difficult injuries to win compensation for. While they cause real pain and make it impossible to get back to work without expensive treatment, they are notoriously difficult to document and prove. For this reason, insurance companies often only offer a very small check (as low as $50.00) to victims who claim soft tissue injuries—an amount that won’t even cover the first visit to the doctor! Don’t make the mistake of assuming that an insurance agent will have your best interests at heart and will be excited about the prospect of providing you with enough money to cover your medical bills. If you have experienced an accident that did not cause any broken bones or visible injuries, it is to your advantage to get …
Brain Injuries
So far, science has been unable to unlock the secrets of the brain. Although it directs our every action, voluntary and involuntary, we are only beginning to understand how it does so. This amazing but delicate part of our body is well protected by the skull, but an injury to the head is still capable of damaging it in a way that temporarily or permanently changes the way it works. On the roads of Las Vegas, brain injuries occur frequently as a result of vehicle accidents, and usually these accidents are caused by one or more drivers displaying negligence behind the wheel.

Back Injuries
Even in the relaxed, fun-loving city of Las Vegas, back injuries frequently cause great immediate pain and health issues to victims that last throughout their lives.

While litigation may be the last thing you feel like thinking about right after suffering a back injury, it is most likely the only way you can expect be fully compensated for the long term expenses that you will face.

Legionnaire’s Disease at Luxor in Las Vegas Leads to Multiple Illnesses and One Fatality
In 2011, an unknown number of visitors to the Luxor were infected with Legionnaire’s disease, an illness with pneumonia-like symptoms that is particularly dangerous to the elderly and the very young. A recent report from the Center for Disease Control confirms that one of the victims has died, while the other two known victims are apparently out of lethal danger.
In spring of 2011, there were two instances of visitors to the hotel contracting Legionnaire’s disease. Luxor authorities complied with an investigation into the outbreak, but the hotel’s water supply did not test positive for disease bacteria. The trouble was not over, however; a third incident later in the year showed that the Luxor’s water was, in fact, contaminated with the bacteria.
While the Luxor has displayed a front of thorough cooperation with authorities, providing a website dedicated to informing the public …
