Lee Hotchkin is an experienced Carson City injury lawyer, with over 35 years representing those who have been seriously injured, or have lost a loved one as a result of negligence, medical malpractice, defective products and other wrongful acts.

A personal injury lawyer is one that specializes in claims arising from evil intent or negligence of one person toward another, resulting in some sort of injury (or death). The most common types of personal injury lawsuits are ones involving motor vehicle accidents, although Nevada personal injury lawsuits can also be work-related, product liability suits, or even assault-and-battery related.

In the United States, three people died every hour as a result of a motor vehicle accident in 2010. Statistics show that most of these accidents could have been prevented had the drivers been paying close attention, as it is estimated that up to 80% of traffic accidents occur due to driver distraction. One major cause of distraction is texting or talking on the phone while driving, and Nevada's anti-texting law came into effect October 1, 2011. Hotchkin Law can help in cases involving injury due to these behaviors.

But road accidents are far from the only kind of personal injury lawsuit. Lawsuits regarding worker's compensation (for injuries sustained on the job) are also common, with everything from exposure to harmful chemicals to employer negligence resulting in injury to an employee. Often times the companies responsible pay lawyers hundreds of thousands of dollars to avoid having to pay out millions to an injured employee.

Another common reason to contact Carson City injury lawyer Hotchkin Law is an accident involving a product defect, such as the spate of Toyota unintended acceleration cases last year. In fact, even a situation such as an assault upon another person (which should result in a criminal case being filed) can result in a personal injury lawsuit filing in conjunction with the criminal case.
