Just because you have what you think are minor injuries as the
result of a car accident, don't assume. It may be the biggest mistake
you will ever make.

Responsibility for Medical Misdiagnosis

hoflandlaw — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 11:13:41 -0500

Who is responsible for medical misdiagnosis, the insurance company or medical health professionals?

Finding out who is responsible for a case of medical misdiagnosis is
not easy. It's a complex area of the law and medical negligence is also
fairly difficult to prove without a whole host of expert witnesses,
medical charts, test results, and the like. This isn't to say that
medical misdiagnosis cases are unusual; they are, however, cases that
take a long time to wind their way through the courts.

Splitting the Property in Two

hoflandlaw — Wed, 27 May 2009 11:22:28 -0500

When it comes time to divvy up the property in a divorce, it isn't
always an easy thing to accomplish. However, it's best to make the
effort to do it without the court stepping in later.

Divorces are not much of a picnic and in fact have been likened to
root canals by most people who go through them. No matter how strong
and tough a person is, a divorce hits people hard – mentally,
emotionally and in some instances, physically. Many people aren't aware
that before they get to the actual legal, final divorce, they are many
things that need to be done.

The Property Split Headache

hoflandlaw — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 15:33:20 -0500

Divorce really ought to be a four-letter word, and to many it is,
especially if they are trying to figure out how to split their assets.

There is a way to protect assets during a divorce, but it is
complicated and in addition to the emotional upheaval of the event, it
might not be worth the fight. This is where those who catalogued their
assets in advance usually have an easier time of it.

To Modify or Not to Modify Support

Once support issues have been ironed out over the course of a
divorce, one tends to think they are set in stone. This is not the
case, and the support amount may be adjusted later.

When Things Go Wrong Medically

hoflandlaw — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 13:46:58 -0500

When something goes wrong medically, it will often go wrong at just
about any point in the process of being diagnosed to being treated.
Generally speaking, the kinds of errors that are most commonly made in
the health care system are technical errors, misdiagnosis, failure to
prevent injuries, and medication errors. While many people think that
medication errors should lead the pack in terms of medical malpractice,
they actually rank the lowest and come in at about 10 percent according
to a study by the Institute of Medicine. Technical errors were rated at

Divorce on Hold

hoflandlaw — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 13:50:30 -0500

It makes a lot of sense that divorces these days are not happening
with the same degree of regularly they have in the past. This is due to
the poor economy.

Going through a divorce is not a lot of fun for any of the
participants, not to mention the usual financial consequences dogging
both parties as they struggle to get back on their feet. However, the
rush to the divorce courts seems to be slowing down, thanks to the bad
economy, something that Bradley J. Hofland, a Las Vegas divorce lawyer, has noticed as well.

Air Bags Kill

hoflandlaw — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:21:17 -0600

Air bags have a tendency to be rather controversial because although they do save lives, they also may take them.

In conversations with a Las Vegas personal injury lawyer
about air bags, it came to light that even though the bags have saved a
great many lives, air bag failures have severely injured or killed
people. Defective air bags are a concern in the auto industry as a
whole, but more so to the legal community who have seen firsthand how
lethal these devices may be to drivers.

Monitor Meds Given in Hospital for Errors

Frighteningly, the longer a patient stays in a hospital, the higher
the risk that they will be victims of a preventable medical error.

If someone is in the hospital for any length of time, chances are
they may be the victim of a medication error; one that could have been
prevented in the first place. This is the conclusion of a study done by
the Institute of Medicine. Many Las Vegas personal injury attorneys have seen instances of medication errors and have assisted their clients to obtain a just settlement.

Incorporating a Nevada Business

hoflandlaw — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:26:52 -0600

Setting up the right type of business entity in Nevada is crucial for a lot of good reasons.

Just because someone had the bright idea to set up a business in
Nevada doesn’t mean all the details can be immediately put into action
and the business open within a month. While that might be a nice dream,
the practical reality is that there are a lot of hoops one needs to go
through to set up.

When It Comes to Big Rigs, Size Matters

hoflandlaw — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:28:12 -0600

There is no doubt that the bigger they are, they more damage they cause when involved in a crash.

It doesn’t seem to make any difference how wide the highways are
these days to allow for more traffic and larger vehicles. The problems
are still the same old ones that existed when the highways were only
four lanes instead of six or eight. Smaller cars and other vehicles are
at a supreme disadvantage when it comes to sharing the roads with big
rigs.
