Summerlin Parkway Crash Leads to One Fatality, One Injury
One-car crashes are extremely common on the roads of both Las Vegas and the rest of the country, and when they occur, it can be very difficult to obtain an understanding of what led to the accident. That’s because there tend to be fewer, if any witnesses to many of these crashes. Tragically, one person [...]
Traffic Fatalities Continue to Pile Up
26. January 2010
When a new year begins, it’s seen as a fresh start in just about every context. That includes traffic statistics, as officials always start the year with the hope that area roads will be safe.

Two Metro Motorcycle Officers Hit by Vehicle
22. January 2010
Many people seem to believe that police officers who are either in their patrol cars or on their official motorcycles are basically immune to the dangers that everyone else must deal with when they get behind the wheel of a vehicle.

Victim of Police Shooting Waits for Word on $3 Million Settlement
20. January 2010
Police officers have a difficult job and must often deal with hectic if not chaotic situations.

Motorcyclist in Eastern Valley Killed in Collision with SUV
18. January 2010
Motorcyclists are not only generally loyal to their chosen mode of transportation, but most if not all of them are aware of the risks they take on and the disadvantage they have in terms of sharing roads with much larger vehicles. Tragically, one man paid the ultimate price recently when his motorcycle collided with an [...]
Doctor-Lawyer Scam Nets First Sentence
15. January 2010
Doctors are held to a high professional standard of conduct for obvious reasons, as are attorneys. Generally, people assume that the two professions are generally pitted against each other given that attorneys can and do file lawsuits against doctors for medical malpractice. However, that is not always reality, and when doctors and lawyers get together [...]

Certain Traffic Areas More Dangerous Than Others
11. January 2010
Many auto accidents can be explained by one or even several factors that include driver inattention, the presence of alcohol in someone’s system, speeding and the like, but there are also areas in and around Las Vegas that tend to be the setting for a high number of accidents. One such area is I-15 near [...]
Another Tragic Holiday Season Crash Results in One Death
8. January 2010
Holiday season auto accidents not only seem especially tragic, but they also seem to occur with a higher degree of regularity than at any other time during the year. The reasons for this perception are obvious, not the least of which is that these types of situations hit home more directly given the overall spirit [...]
