Las Vegas Woman Sues Match.com Alleging Faulty Member Screening

January 26th, 2013 No comments

Mary Beckman signed had signed up for Match.com looking to make new friends and even possibly find the next love of her life. She’d been on a few dates and met some nice men when Match.com facilitated her meeting with Wade Ridley in September 2010. She dated Mr.  Ridley for 8 days when she ended the relationship, and in just four months she was stabbed by him four times. She was stabbed eight times in the torso, twice in the head and after Mr. Ridley had broken his knife, he began to kick and stomp Ms. Beckman in the head. If you have been injured in Las Vegas through no fault of your own, contact Benson and Bingham today for a free legal consultation.

Ms. Beckman has been through numerous surgeries to treat her injuries from the attack. One procedure saved her vision. Another fixed her shattered jawbone. A third replaced a part of her skull with a synthetic piece of skull. Last year, Mr. Ridley was serving time in the Arizona prison system when he committed suicide. According to Ms. Beckman’s attorney, Match.com does not safely provide introductions to its members and should research individuals who sign up for its service. To recoup money for medical expenses and pain and suffering, Ms. Beckman has sued Match.com for not adequately screening its members.

Poor NV Economy May Spur Rise in Malpractice Cases

January 1st, 2012 No comments

As the Nevada Cancer Institute bankruptcy proceeds, patient care concerns have been in the forefront. Under Nevada law, when a medical institution has filed for Chapter 11, the court should appoint a health care ombudsman, to ensure patient care does not suffer. At this time, no ombudsman has been appointed as the Nevada Cancer Institute is currently not facing any malpractice claims. If you believe you or a loved one has been injured or killed in a case of Nevada medical malpractice, contact us today.

As the economy continues to struggle, and more Nevadans eschew health insurance in lieu of buying groceries and paying rent, Las Vegas hospitals as well as those across the Silver State are facing financial difficulties. Hospital staffs across Nevada are being asked to work longer hours and make due with fewer resources. Because of this, the potential for mistakes, negligence and poor care are greater. If you feel you have gotten substandard medical care due to negligence in Las Vegas or malpractice in Clark County, please contact us today.

Las Vegas law firm Benson and Bingham represents its clients be striving to ensure their satisfaction. We handle Las Vegas accident, injury, negligence and liability cases across Southern Nevada. Please contact us today at BensonBingham.com or 702-382-9797 for a free consultation.

NV For-Profit Nursing Homes Show Care Deficiencies

December 31st, 2011 No comments

UC San Francisco recently released a report comparing the quality-of-care in nursing homes across the country. The report compared the ten largest for profit nursing homes with the care in other for profits, non-profits and even government run homes. In general, the report’s findings showed a  better quality of care and higher staffing levels at non-profit and government run facilities. If you believe your loved one has received sub-par care in a Nevada nursing home, contact us today.

In the ten largest nursing homes, the report found that patients had more complaints and incidents of pressure sores, weight loss, falls, infections, mistreatment by staff, unsanitary conditions and more. These higher incident rates stem from lower staffing levels at large, chain operations where patient care is secondary to making a profit.
