Workplace Accidents

Las Vegas Work Accident Lawyer

Las Vegas and Henderson, Nevada, are two of the nation's fastest growing areas. While the construction industry works to accommodate that growth, the hospitality industry continues to expand. It is not surprising that the number of work accidents and industrial injuries reported each year is growing also.

A 42-year-old Las Vegas police officer suffered wrist and neck injuries when his car was T-boned by a taxi cab. The cab driver was talking on a cell phone. Our lawyers sued the taxi cab company for negligence and recovered a $1,000,000 settlement before trial.

Attorneys at Harris Schwartz Lawyers, our Las Vegas personal injury law firm, are committed to protecting the rights of workers in the hospitality industry and on construction sites. If a work accident has caused a serious injury to you or a member of your family, it is important to have an attorney review your injury claim to see that you are recovering the full compensation you need and deserve. If you would like to speak with a member of the firm, please contact our office to arrange a free consultation and case evaluation.

Workers' compensation is not enough

Every injured employee is entitled to workers' compensation, and our lawyers help our clients with workers' comp claims. However, those benefits do not fully reimburse a worker for wage loss and pain and suffering. At your free consultation, our attorney will talk to you about the possibility of third-party claims. Examples of cases where these additional personal injury claims apply include the following:

• Premises liability claims against a property owner, general contractor or property manager if a work site or property an employee visits in the course of work is not maintained in a safe condition
• Product liability claims against the distributors and manufacturers of defective products such as construction equipment, power tools, scaffolding and ladders, and appliances
• Auto accident claims against a variety of insurance policies, in cases where an on-the-job injury resulted from a car, truck or delivery van crash
• Taxi cab accidents, where an injured person was in Las Vegas on business

If you were making a delivery when you suffered a slip and fall accident, were sexually assaulted while working in a hotel or casino or as a tour guide you owe it to yourself and your family to recover full compensation for any work injury.
