Eric Palacios & Associates Law Firm Reports on Nevada Personal Injury Lawsuits
Personal injury comes in many forms and individuals need to ensure their rights are protected at all times, EricPalaciosLaw.com reports
Las Vegas, Nevada – September 9, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —
Imagine a driver operating a vehicle while eating french fries. The fries spill, the driver reaches over to get them and, in the process, spills his milkshake. He then hits another vehicle. As a result of this accident, he opts to sue the fast food restaurant where he purchased the fries and drink, claiming they brought about the accident. Although he did not win his case, it made it all the way to the New Jersey Supreme Court before it was thrown out. Individuals need to know they have legal recourse when they feel they are injured through the actions of another party, and Eric Palacios & Associates Law Firm ( http://ericpalacioslaw.com/areas-of-service/personal-injury/) is ready to assist.
“While some individuals would declare this lawsuit is frivolous, the injured party did not agree. He felt the restaurant was responsible and wanted to see that they took this responsibility seriously. We sit down with anyone who feels they have a personal injury case to determine if another party can be held accountable for their injuries based on the particular circumstances of their case. Everyone has a right to be heard and we ensure this right is protected,” Eric Palacios, founder of Eric Palacios & Associates Law Firm, states.
Nevada has a shared fault clause in their personal injury law statues. A person may be found to be partially to blame when an injury occurs as a result of an accident. For example, a person crossing the street against the light may be hit by a car. In this situation, both the driver and the pedestrian played a role in the accident, thus any damages awarded to the pedestrian may be reduced by an amount determined by the court. The court figures this amount by calculating to what extent each party was responsible for the accident.
“If in this situation, the court determined the pedestrian was responsible for 40 percent of the accident, his or her award would then be reduced by 40 percent. This confuses many individuals and leaves them wondering if the case is even worth filing. We look at the facts and provide more information regarding the law and how it may come into play in their specific case to ease the mind of the injured party,” Palacios continues.
Personal injury may also come in the form of a parent being kept from his or her child. Although this does not fall into the category of a physical injury, it definitely takes its toll mentally on the parent who is unable to have contact with the child and the child. Eric Palacios & Associates may be of help here also, as the firm maintains a family law (http://ericpalacioslaw.com/areas-of-service/family-law/) division to assist with domestic matters.
“The non-custodial parent and child are both harmed in this situation, when the custodial parent prevents them from maintaining their relationship. The actions of the custodial parent are bringing about the injury to this relationship and should be held accountable for doing so. We can be of assistance here also, so give us a call today. We’ll work to resolve your situation in the shortest time possible,” Palacios declares.
