Las Vegas victims of medical malpractice beware: if you sue a doctor for medical malpractice, the doctor may sue you! That is right. The doctor who you believe committed medical malpractice and provided substandard and negligent care and treatment may sue you. A Las Vegas doctor who was sued for the wrongful death of a patient due to an overdose of pain medications sued the parents of his deceased patient for suing him. What is amazing is that the doctor’s license has been taken away. The Nevada board of medical examinaers took the doctor’s license to dispense prescriptions. The DEA attributed at least eight overdose deaths to this doctor and the Nevada medical board blamed the doctor for four cases of malpractice. There are reportedly a number of medical malpractice casses pending against the doctor. Despite all of that, the doctor sued the parents of one of his victims who died as a result of the excessive amounts of narcotic pain medicaltions he prescibed.

Our firm has cases pending against other doctors who we allege operated “pill mills” where excessive amounts of pain medications were prescibed with little or no examinations or medical justification. The DEA is investigating suspected doctors and “pill mills” in NNevada and other states across the country. We believe that doctors must reasonably and responsibly prescribe narcotics. Doctors should not be glorified drug pushers. Murphy & Murphy Law Offices investigates and sues “pill mills” and the doctors behind them that are in reality drug dealers with licenses. If you or a relative have been injured or have dies as a result of a

I hope you had a good summer.

Las Vegas car accident and injury victims have a choice of Las Vegas personal injury lawyers every day. There are a multitude of Las Vegas personal injury lawyers from which to choose. The TV adds run constantly. The yellow pages are full of page after page after page of Las Vegas personal injury lawyer adds. If you take a moment and watch the TV commercials or read the adds, they are really all about the same: I am aggressive, free consultation, no fee if we do not get you a recovery. Admit it, you have seen and heard these things a million times from all of the TV lawyers. When you think about it, don’t they all really sound the same?

If you are considering hiring one of the high volume TV lawyers for your Las Vegas personal injury case, think again. Is a high volume Las Vegas personal injury law firm and a Las Vegas TV accident attorney the best choice for your case? Do you want to be just a number or do you want personal attention? Does your case require more than the run of the mill, garden variety Las Vegas accident case.

No matter what kind of Las Vegas personal injury lawyer you want to hire, how can you tell if the Las Vegas accident and injury attorney is honest? If that does not concern you, what difference does it make to you and your case? Whether your lawyer is honest will affect every aspect of your case. It starts from the very beginning. If you have health insurance, you should treat through your health insurance. Your health insurance should pay for your medical treatment related to your Las Vegas accident. The reason you want to treat through your health insurance is because the health insurance has negotiated a discounted rate with the doctors. At the end of your case you will have to repay your health insurance. You will only have to pay the amount paid by your health insurance.

Many Las Vegas accident lawyers have referral agreements with a number of chiropractors and Las Vegas doctors. The agreement is that they will mutually refer clients and patients to each other. The second part of the agreement is that the chiropractors and doctors will not bill your health insurance. Instead they will treat you on a lien. You will not have to pay anything until the case settles. Then the referring Las Vegas accident attorney will pay the chiropractor or doctor in full. The problem is that the bill is a lot higher than your health insurance would have paid. The extra amount billed by the chiropractors and doctors on a lien comes from the settlement. As a result, the amount of money that you get is a lot less. The chiropractors, doctors and lawyers get the majority of the money and you only get a little bit.

How else can you tell if the Las Vegas accident and injury lawyer you are thinking about hiring is honest? How did the lawyer get you as a client? Did the Las Vegas accident attorney pay someone for you to be referred? Did you get any money for being referred to the Las Vegas accident lawyer? Paying clients and other people for referrals are against the ethical rules that say what lawyers can and cannot do. If the lawyer is willing to break the rules to get you as a client for your Las Vegas accident, that is not honest. If the Las Vegas lawyer is willing to be dishonest to get you as a client, there is a great probability that the Las Vegas lawyer will be willing to break the rules to take advantage of you.

The bottom line is that the decision of what Las Vegas accident and injury lawyer to hire for your case is one o the most important decisions you will ever make about your case. You must carefully think about what you are looking for and what you want from a Las Vegas accident attorney. Research Las Vegas accident attorneys. There are lots to choose from. Good ones and bad ones. Interview a number of them. See who treats you the best and answers your questions. Find out which Las Vegas accident and personal injury attorneys are willing to talk to you and answer your questions. Find out which offices only have intake people to talk to. Find out if the firm or lawyer only want to schedule you to come in and sign a contract and which Las Vegas lawyers do not force you to come in to get information. You will quickly be able to tell the difference between the Las Vegas lawyers and law firms that you talk to. Choose the Las Vegas laywer and law firm that is most helpful, provides the most information and who follows the rules of ethics and who will look out for your best interests as opposed to the Las Vegas lawyers interests.

Until the most recent legislative session in Nevada distracted driving was not against the law. In Las Vegas, most drivers see instances of distracted drivers on a daily basis. However, Las Vegas drivers and throughout Nevada must be aware that as of October 1, 2011 it will be against the law to text while driving. It will also be against the law for drivers in Las Vegas and Nevada to talk on the cell phone while driving, except if they use a hands free device.

Distracted driving is a real problem in Las Vegas. I am not aware of any current statistics that document how many Las Vegas traffic accidents are caused per year due to distracted drivers. However, the injuries and devastation that can be caused by a distracted driver can range from minor injuries and property damage to life time injuries and death.

If you are a Las Vegas driver who texts while driving or talks on your cell phone, be aware that it will soon be against the law. In addition, it is reported that the Las Vegas Metro Police will begin pulling Las Vegas distracted drivers over and giving warnings before the law takes effect on October 1, 2011. So be warned.  If you have not stopped texting and driving or talking on your cell phone and driving due to the safety hazards you cause, including threatening your own life, now is the time to stop. If being safe is not enough for you, perhaps getting fined will put a stop to your dangerous behavior.  Whatever it takes, please stop testing and driving. Pay attention to the road. Become a safe driver for your sake and the sake of everyone else on the roads in Las Vegas.

A Nevada personal injury and wrongful death case that captured national attention from the press and media is an excellent example of how insurance companies and corporations refuse to accept responsibility even in cases where there should be no question about the insurance companies and corporation’s responsibility. On June 24, 2011 a Nevada semi-truck driver slammed his loaded semi-tractor-trailer into an Amtrak train in Reno, Nevada killing six people and injuring many more. The semi-truck driver ignored the flashing red lights and the crossing gates before skidding more than the length of a football field before slamming into the side of the Amtrak train killing the six people and injuring numerous other victims.

Given the facts, could anyone argue that the semi-truck driver and the trucking company that employed him were not negligent? Could anyone argue that the truck driver and the trucking company that employed him should not be held responsible for the six deaths and multiple other injured people? If someone were to try and argue that the truck driver and the trucking company were not responsible, wouldn’t that be a frivolous defense that should not be made?

 In my opinion, denying responsibility under the circumstances would be frivolous. But that is not how insurance companies, multi-national corporations and their lawyers work. They are all about deny, deny, deny.  Accepting responsibility is not part of their tactics. In talking about this case, the Nevada trucking company’s lawyer said “I believe the evidence will show their conduct was defensible in all of this.  I have a great deal of trust in the legal system, and if someday we go in front of a jury, I’m confident it will give us the chance to say we did everything right.”

This is what insurance companies and their lawyers do in Nevada and Las Vegas personal injury cases. In this case, the semi-truck ran through the red flashing lights, crashed through the warning gates, skidded more than the length of a football field before slamming into the side of the Amtrak train and killing six people in Reno, Nevada. Pretty clear fault, isn’t it? Yet the insurance defense lawyer for the trucking company says the “conduct was defensible” and that “we did everything right.”

 And so that is how it goes in Las Vegas personal injury cases.  The insurance defense lawyers, despite clear facts establishing that their corporate clients were negligent, deny liability and responsibility.  They force innocent accident victims into court and then accuse them of trying to take advantage of the system. They accuse them of filing frivolous lawsuits. Isn’t it time that we start holding the defense lawyers and their corporate clients and insurance companies to the same standard and refuse to accept frivolous defenses?

A Las Vegas wrongful death lawsuit contends Henri Wetselarr, M.D. improperly prescribed large amounts of narcotic medications to Danny White that lead to the death of Danny White.  Craig Murphy, Esq. and Richard Johnson, Esq. of Murphy & Murphy Law Offices in Las Vegas, Nevada filed the wrongful death and medical malpractice lawsuit on behalf of Danny White’s estate.   Murphy & Murphy Law Offices is seeking witnesses and information from anyone who has knowledge of Henri Wetselarr, M.D.’s practices in conducting physical examinations, prescribing narcotic medications and Henri Wetselaar, M.D.’s billing practices.  In addition to seeking knowledgeable witness and information relating to Henri Wetselaar, M.D., Murphy & Murphy Law Offices will represent other individuals and families who believe that they have been injured as a result of Henri Wetselaar, M.D.

According to court documents, it was known that Henri Wetselaar, M.D. in Las Vegas would prescribe narcotic medications to patients.  Patients would come from other states to Las Vegas for the sole purpose of obtaining narcotic medications from Henri Wetselaar, M.D.  Court documents state that Danny White came to Las Vegas for the purpose of obtaining narcotic medications from Henri Wetselarr, M.D.  Shortly after obtaining a prescription for a large quantity of narcotic medication from Henri Wetselaar, M.D. Danny White was found dead.  An autopsy report listed the cause of death as toxic levels of Methadone and Xanax, the medications prescribed by Henri Wetselaar, M.D.

“It is suspected that there are many other people who obtained large amounts of narcotic medications from Henri Wetselaar, M.D. who may have claims against Henri Wetselaar, M.D.” said Las Vegas personal injury/wrongful death attorney Craig Murphy, Esq.  Murphy & Murphy Law Offices and Craig Murphy, Esq. are encouraging anyone with information or potential claims against Henri Wetselaar, M.D. to contact the Las Vegas offices of Murphy & Murphy Law Offices.  “It is critical that anyone with a potential claim act quickly” said Craig Murphy, Esq. “because the allegations of negligence and injury relate to medical negligence often referred to as medical malpractice claims.”  In Nevada the statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims is one year.  Craig Murphy, Esq. said that means anyone with a potential claim must file not delay in obtaining a lawyer and starting a lawsuit.  Craig Murphy, Esq. also said that “there may be other causes of action available that could extend the time for the filing of a lawsuit.  But anyone who believes that he or she may have a claim cannot delay in hiring an attorney and filing a Las Vegas lawsuit against Henri Wetselaar, M.D. that is why you should call us today.”

Las Vegas injury lawyer and accident attorney Craig Murphy, Esq. says that the economic problems in Las Vegas cause problems for everyone.  Many of the problems go unreported or unnoticed.  One such unreported or unnoticed problem deals with the number of uninsured drivers or underinsured drivers in Las Vegas.  On a national basis it is estimated that as many as 1 out of every 6 vehicles on the road is uninsured.  Everyone in Las Vegas is familiar with and aware of the number of Las Vegas accidents that happen each and everyday.  For some reason many drivers in Las Vegas drive as though the traffic laws and rules of the road do not apply to them.  We have an inordinate number of drunk and distracted drivers in Las Vegas.  Everyday I see people texting while driving.  Drunk drivers and distracted drivers are a huge problem in Las Vegas.  Las Vegas injury lawyer and accident attorney Craig Murphy, Esq. says that you need to take steps to protect yourself.

What most responsible Las Vegas drivers probably have not considered is the effect the tough economy has had on the number of Las Vegas uninsured and underinsured drivers.  Las Vegas injury lawyer and accident attorney Craig Murphy, Esq. suspects that an increasing number of uninsured and underinsured drivers are on the roads of Las Vegas.  Think about it.  If a person cannot pay his or her mortgage and other bills is he or she likely to continue to pay the insurance premiums on their car?  If a Las Vegas family is financially strapped due to the Las Vegas economy wouldn’t they eliminate their car insurance or at least reduce their coverage to the minimum amount allowed under Nevada law?  Craig Murphy, Esq. believes that it is very probable that the number of Las Vegas uninsured and underinsured motorists have substantially increased with the economic woes due to the horrible Las Vegas economy.

Las Vegas drivers continue to drive horribly.  Las Vegas continues to have traffic accidents.  Numerous people in Las Vegas are injured every day because of Las Vegas traffic accidents.  The TV and radio are loaded with Las Vegas accident and injury attorney ads.  The chances that you will be involved and injured in a car accident in Las Vegas remain the same as before.  The question is what have you done to make sure that you are protected in the event you are in a Las Vegas accident with an uninsured or underinsured motorist?  Have you changed your insurance to make sure that you are adequately protected in the event you are in a Las Vegas accident and you or your family members are injured?  Do you have enough insurance?  Do you have the right insurance?  How would you know, especially if you bought discount insurance over the Internet.  Who is your agent?  Who can you talk to to see if you have the right insurance for the current situation in Las Vegas?

That is why Las Vegas injury lawyer and accident attorney Craig Murphy, Esq. is giving free insurance reviews.  You need someone who is independent to review your insurance.  You do not need someone who is trying to sell you something.  You need someone who will look out for your best interests.  You need an honest opinion.  You need someone who can tell you which insurance companies have a good track record and those who have a record of dealing in bad faith with their Las Vegas accident victims and Las Vegas insurance policy holders.

To get a free insurance review call the Las Vegas offices of Murphy & Murphy Law Offices and set an appointment to meet with Craig Murphy, Esq.  He will meet with you to discuss the various insurance options that are available to you and explain what coverage you should have and what coverage you may not need.  He will also discuss with you what amount of insurance is appropriate for you to properly protect you if you are involved in a LasVegas accident.  The appointment and insurance review are free.  There will be no cost to you.  Protect your family and yourself.  Do not delay in setting your insurance review appointment with Las Vegas injury lawyer and accident attorney Craig Murphy, Esq.
