Do you need a Las Vegas personal injury lawyer?

If you or someone you love sustained injuries in a Las Vegas-area accident caused by someone else’s negligence, you may need a personal injury lawyer. Edward Bernstein and Associates represent injured accident victims in lawsuits and insurance claims to secure maximum compensation for their losses.

Here is a look at the types of accidents and injuries we can handle for our clients.

Car Accidents

Each year in Nevada, more than 300 people die and thousands more suffer injuries in car accidents. Many of those accidents occur in and around Las Vegas. Whether you sustained an injury as a driver or passenger, our Las Vegas car accident team has the resources and know-how to hold at-fault parties and insurance companies accountable to maximize your compensation.

Truck Accidents

Trucks crash less often than cars in Las Vegas, but that doesn’t make truck accidents less hazardous on area roads. In a collision with a large truck, a passenger vehicle will often sustain catastrophic damage that endangers the lives of its occupants. Truck accidents can also lead to secondary collisions or spills of dangerous cargo.

Edward Bernstein and Associates take on negligent truck operators and big insurance companies to make sure they pay for the harm others suffer in Las Vegas truck accidents.

Motorcycle Accidents

According to Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) crash data, hundreds of motorcycle accidents happen in Las Vegas every year. Bikers or their passengers sustain injuries in nearly all of them—many suffering severe or fatal trauma.

A high percentage of those accidents happen because of the careless actions of someone other than the injured biker. At Edward Bernstein and Associates, we fight to prove liability against anyone whose conduct harmed a biker, and we won’t rest until our clients get justice and fair compensation.

Construction Site Accidents

As Las Vegas and its environs continue to grow, so do the number of accidents on area construction sites. Construction workers frequently sustain severe or fatal injuries in falls, collapses, and equipment malfunctions, leaving them incapacitated and unable to earn a living.

Edward Bernstein and Associates has what it takes to win the toughest construction site accident cases against big builders and powerful insurance companies. No one should lose their ability to work because of someone else’s careless conduct.

Defective Products

Defects in the products we use and consume every day at home, school, and work can cause severe injury or death. Nevada law generally holds the manufacturers of those products strictly liable for the harm they cause. You may have a compensation claim if you sustain an injury after using, consuming, or being exposed to an unreasonably dangerous product.

Edward Bernstein and Associates can help you—we’re not scared to go toe-to-toe with large manufacturing companies to hold them accountable for endangering the public. Our team has experience with cases involving dangerous prescription drugs, dangerous building materials like asbestos, and defective CPAP and BIPAP devices.

Dog Bite Injuries

Most dogs in Las Vegas bring joy and companionship into our lives. But some act out and bite unsuspecting people. Dog bites can inflict severe wounds, including facial lacerations, broken bones, and permanent scarring and disfigurement. Victims—particularly young children—also frequently suffer deep emotional trauma.

At Edward Bernstein and Associates, we apply Nevada law to hold dog owners, keepers, and property owners financially accountable when dogs attack and harm an innocent victim.

Slip and Fall Accidents and Premises Liability

The owners and tenants of Las Vegas residential, commercial, and government properties all have a responsibility to protect their guests from injuries resulting from hazardous property features. Dangerous property conditions can lead to someone falling and getting hurt, suffering burns, or sustaining injuries in an assault, for example.

If you suffered harm because of a hazard at any Las Vegas property you do not own, be it a store, hotel, restaurant, residence, office building, or public park, the team at Edward Bernstein and Associates can explore your options for demanding compensation from anyone who should have kept you safe.

Wrongful Death

Some Las Vegas accidents lead to an innocent victim’s tragic death. In those cases, Nevada law generally entitles the victim’s estate and surviving heirs to pursue compensation for their loss through a wrongful death lawsuit.

The attorneys of Edward Bernstein and Associates recognize that monetary damages cannot replace a life. But they can go a long way in helping spouses and families in mourning pay their bills and confront future challenges.

Workers’ Compensation

Most Las Vegas employers must maintain a workers’ compensation insurance policy protecting their workers against work-related injuries or illnesses. Workers’ comp can pay for your medical care and replace some of your lost earnings if you got hurt or sick on the job in Las Vegas.

Edward Bernstein and Associates can handle all stages of workers’ compensation claims for injured workers and families of workers who died in workplace accidents, from applying for benefits, negotiating with workers’ comp insurance companies, or pursuing appeals of adverse claims decisions.

Social Security Disability

Nevadans living with a disability that prevents them from working can often apply for monthly income replacement payments through the federal Social Security and Disability Insurance (SSDI) program. Obtaining SSDI benefits can involve a long and challenging process if you don’t have an experienced SSDI attorney in your corner fighting for you.

Edward Bernstein and Associates can handle all aspects of an SSDI claim for a disabled Las Vegas-area resident. We know how to cut through the paperwork and get results.
