  • Aggressive driving

    — Erick Tyson von Mueller

    Aggressive driving or “road rage” is a separate and distinct traffic violation in the Nevada criminal code. That means aggressive driving is illegal. It’s similar to reckless-driving. It’s also downright dangerous and a real problem here in Las Vegas. According to GasBuddy, Las Vegas is ranked tenth in the top 10 cities with most aggressive drivers. If you are the victim of an accident caused by aggressive driving in the Las Vegas area, you need an experienced Las Vegas car accident attorney on your side. Read more…

  • Compensation available to accident victims

    — Erick Tyson von Mueller

    Your attorney may begin your case by investigating the scene of the accident to determine negligence. This can include canvassing the area to find and record witness statements. Complicated cases will probably require specialists to determine the factors contributing to the accident. Your attorney will hire vehicular accident reconstructionists, safety engineers and other professionals and experts as necessary who can help determine the cause of serious accidents. Your attorney will also consult with your doctors and other medical specialists to identify the care and treatment that you will need in order to recover after the automobile accident. Read more…

  • Distracted driving

    — Erick Tyson von Mueller

    Probably all drivers have been distracted while driving. This doesn’t make it right but it does draw attention to the problem. Busy lifestyles and long commutes can push drivers to perform tasks that cannot always be safely completed while operating a vehicle. Text messaging, status updates and mobile web interactions have recently come under fire for becoming a distraction to drivers, but GPS systems, grooming, talking to passengers, and even adjusting radios and music can cause distractions while driving, even if only taking attention for a couple of seconds.

  • Facts to consider while shopping for a low-cost attorney

    — Erick Tyson von Mueller

    “Time is money.” We have all heard this. We have also all heard “you get what you pay for.” In any profession, a good professional invests a lot time to provide a quality service and is compensated by charging high fees. Another professional, say a cheap professional, invests little time to provide a similar service. The cheap professional can be compensated by low fees because there was a low investment of time.

  • Failure-to-yield

    — Erick Tyson von Mueller

    Right-of-way laws are defined to help facilitate the orderly movement of traffic on roadways and through intersections. These laws are founded on cooperation, courtesy and common sense, and reduce accidents when they are obeyed. A negligent driver’s failure-to-yield the right-of-way to another vehicle is one of the most common causes of accidents in Las Vegas and surrounding areas of Nevada. The bodily injuries and vehicle and property damages produced by a failure-to-yield collision can be catastrophic, particularly when one or both of the vehicles are traveling at high speeds, because failure-to-yield crashes can occur involving vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians.

  • Fender-bender

    — Erick Tyson von Mueller

    A low impact accident, low speed collision, or “fender-bender” is when two vehicles hit each other at speeds less than 10 MPH. Typically, fender-bender accidents are dismissed as being minor and insignificant collisions. However, in some cases, fender-benders can cause damage, and can also lead to bodily injuries. Imagine if you will that you are stuck in gridlock on your way home from work. You inch your car forward, but the vehicle behind you goes to far and rear-ends you. Read more…

  • Hazardous roadway

    — Erick Tyson von Mueller

    There are many potential causes of Las Vegas car accidents and not all of them involve human error. While most of these accidents occur because of the negligence of one of the drivers involved–such as a speeding or intoxicated driver–not all accidents can be blamed on vehicle operators. One commonly overlooked cause of injury accidents is a dangerous or hazardous roadway. Insurance companies and police officers are quick to assume that a driver is to blame for an accident.

Jason Bourne and his friends visited the Las Vegas Strip in 2016. Drivers everywhere and almost half the audience hope they never come back. I give the fountain at the Bellagio (behind the multiple-vehicle collision) 5/5.

    This bar is a centerpiece at the Palms Casino Many bars draw a crowd with their theme and décor, but few offer the sort of spectacle of Unknown, standing out in white marble like a monument.

    El Cortez keeps Las Vegas tradition alive with coin slot machines

    The one arm bandit, lights flashing, and alarms ringing, with the sound of coins falling out in a fountain of winnings is the spirit of Vegas gambling. There is no better way to celebrate a winning bet than the spray of money into your bucket of coins. It’s real, weighty, and full of promise. But as much as we can recall the feel of coin slot machines, they are long gone. Read more…
