What to Look for in a Personal Injury Attorney in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Interestingly enough, I was just looking at the “news” headlines for the day, right before I was “supposed” to be writing my blog for the week, on what to look for in a Personal Injury Attorney.  Since news is now 24 hours, instead of the one hour evening broadcast years back, what passes for news is debatable. 

However, while I was reading the news, I came across an article on the Nine Beliefs of Remarkably Successful People.  Belief Number 4, was that “Experience is irrelevant. Accomplishments are everything.”  
I believe there is some truth to this statement.  Just because someone has been doing something for 10 or 20 years, doesn’t necessarily mean that they are good at it.  Although in the personal injury field and lawyering in general, if you have been doing something long enough, you will of at least learned something along the way and be mediocre.  
But, when choosing a personal injury attorney, a mediocre attorney isn’t exactly on your top ten list.  Instead, asking your prospective personal injury attorney, what percentage of their practice is devoted to personal injury matters, is important.  An attorney who practices in all areas of the law cannot be great at any of them.
Also, when meeting with a personal injury attorney, getting a feel from their office and staff, as to the level of personal attention your case will get, is extremely important.  Sometimes in the practice of law, certain larger cases may get more attention, while you case sits on the back burner.   
This is because some personal injury law firms take any case that walks in the door and they do not have the time or staff to devote to each and every case.  It then becomes like triage in a hospital: work the more serious and pressing cases first.  At von Magdenko & Associates, PLLC, we only take on a select number of cases, so we can be certain that we have the time and resources to make sure your case is worked properly, which in the end, means getting the highest value for your case.
Next time, we will talk about who pays the costs in a personal injury case.

Marijuana Use And Florida Drivers

The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence [1]   confirms that marijuana use leads to impaired drivers: “Since marijuana is the second most commonly used drug associated with drinking and drugged driving after alcohol, it is important to understand why it is particularly dangerous.   THC, the high producing element in marijuana, affects areas of the brain that control body movements, balance, coordination, memory, and judgment.  Evidence from both real and simulated driving studies indicate that marijuana negatively affects a driver’s attentiveness, perception of time and speed, and ability to draw on information obtained from past experiences. Research also shows that impairment increases significantly when marijuana use is combined with alcohol. Studies have found that many drivers test positive for alcohol and THC, making it clear that drinking and drugged driving are often linked behaviors.” All 50 states and the District of Columbia have laws ...
