Areas of Practice - The Personal Injury Attorney
Benson & Bingham > Areas of Practice

Because Las Vegas is the home of entertainment, it is also home to the most tourists of any city. Due to this, many accidents occur within the hotels and casinos and on the valley roadways. Many times these are slip and fall cases, or slip and trip cases due to the negligence of the resorts. There are many victims injured in taxi cabs shuffling through the busy streets of Las Vegas daily. Taxi cabs and their passengers account for a large portion of city accidents. Nightclub violence either by bouncer or patron is also a major emphasis for personal injury law suits; many times the guest of a hotel actually becomes the victim of the hotel's breach of reasonable care.

Benson and Bingham handle many out-of-state clients, and often travel out-of-state to interview witnesses and medical providers to prove tenets of the case. If your accident occurred in the state of Nevada, you will need an attorney licensed in Nevada to prosecute your claim. If you are represented by an attorney outside of Las Vegas, or Nevada, make sure they are a member of the State Bar of Nevada, or they will not be able to file suit in the State without applying with the local District Courts. In addition, Benson & Bingham have affiliates throughout the country to assist in an injury related claim or lawsuit, and only refer to the highest qualified lawyers.
