Keep the workplace safe, but if you have been injured, you may need advice from a competent professional. Our extensive experience in the area of accident analysis can secure you the proper legal advice during your time of recovery.

   As with any accident, detail the event as much as possible. Photograph any important elements. Record any equipment model and serial numbers before the device is altered or relocated to another site and is no longer available. Witnesses can also be an essential part of any settlement. Get names and phone numbers as soon as possible. Save all correspondences.

   Be able to answer the following questions, “Did my company have adequate written training and safety procedures? Was I adequately trained? Were my actions reasonable?” Retrieve copies of all safety and training documents. Many companies have inadequate written safety procedures while some have none at all! Collect and preserve copies of all training and safety manuals.

   We've provided "useful links" to assist you in gathering helpful information. For example, labor.state.nv.us is the Nevada Department of Labor, which contains labor laws and provides frequently requested forms. detr.state.nv.us is the State of Nevada Department of Employment Training and Rehabilitation. All of the services provided to assist you at your fingertips.
