Cohan PLLC attorney Chasen Cohan, Esq., is filing lawsuits in Las Vegas, Nevada, on behalf of families where the mother took Tylenol® during pregnancy and it caused their child to develop autism or ADHD.

Tylenol® is a brand name for a widely used over-the-counter (OTC) pain reliever and fever reducer. The active ingredient in Tylenol is acetaminophen (also known as paracetamol).

In the past, Tylenol® has been recommended by healthcare professionals for pregnant individuals experiencing pain or fever simply because it has a long history of use. However, according to recent studies by the American Journal of Pathology and the National Institute of Health, “prenatal acetaminophen affects maternal immune and endocrine adaptation to pregnancy, induces placental damage, and impairs fetal development in mice.”

This is just a fancy way of saying the use of Tylenol® during pregnancy is linked to an increased risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children.

Cohan PLLC attorney Chasen Cohan, Esq. filed suit on behalf of the family of a Las Vegas man who was buried alive while working on a construction site in Las Vegas, Nevada.

According to the suit, the construction worker was performing work at a construction site near Kyle Canyon and Oso Blanca roads when a truck arrived to pour cement. The worker was sent into the trench to retrieve some tools to pour the cement.

The worker’s team noticed he was not with them as they headed to their trucks for lunch, the complaint states. The team immediately rushed to the trench, where the worker went to retrieve the tools to try to locate the worker and found that a substantial amount of dirt had been poured into the trench.

In medical terminology, a disc extrusion is a type of spinal disc herniation or disc protrusion. The spinal discs are soft, cushion-like structures between the vertebrae (the bones of the spine) that act as shock absorbers and provide flexibility to the spine. When the inner gel-like material of a disc pushes out through the outer layer, it can cause various degrees of spinal compression and nerve irritation.

Disc extrusions and other forms of disc herniation can cause pressure on nearby nerves, leading to various symptoms, including back pain, sciatica (pain radiating down the leg), numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness. Treatment options may range from conservative approaches like physical therapy and pain management to surgical intervention in more severe cases. Treatment choice depends on the individual's specific condition and the severity of their symptoms.

In Nevada, the law is constantly changing. There are good reasons to pass new laws as communities grow. However, when those laws address specific needs that no longer apply, unintended consequences tend to look more absurd over time.

When this occurs, it seems evident that local and state law enforcement agencies would no longer enforce these old rules. Regardless, these laws technically still exist. Some of these laws have context, but in many cases, we have no idea what led to their creation, much less their passage!

Let's take a look at some of the weirdest ones:

If you or someone you love is suffering because of a collision involving an 18-wheeled truck in Las Vegas or Reno, Nevada, you may know that you did nothing wrong, believe that your injuries and costs that the accident caused are obvious, and be wondering why it matters which lawyer represents you.

A truck crash is not the same as a car accident. Often, 18-wheeler accidents can result in severe injuries, and it could take months or years to recover. And while car accidents only involve you and the other driver, trucking accidents can involve multiple parties. Our team at Cohan PLLC has spent years dealing with these issues and can get you the medical treatment and compensation for deserve.

In Nevada, 67% of the state, or 48 million acres, belongs to the American people. The Bureau of Land Management often manages this land. These wide-open spaces are beautiful and can be used for recreational activities, like hunting, swimming, fishing, rafting, camping, tubing, hiking, spelunking, collecting rocks, or participating in water sports. Due to the nature of these activities, there is a heightened danger of drowning accidents on recreational land in Nevada.

History has shown that large mobs of people and a lack of proper crowd control at a venue can make for a deadly combination. A crowd surge typically occurs when a large group of people moves suddenly, restricting space and unrestrained movement, leading to people pushing forward and others getting trapped in an unbreakable formation. It can include a “crowd collapse,” which is when several people fall down and can’t get back up.

Contrary to popular belief, experts claim that the most common cause of death during a crowd surge is a restriction of oxygen and not injuries from getting trampled or pushed around.

For many drivers, the idea of the right-of-way is simply a reference to the requirement that one needs to obey all traffic laws, including those at a controlled intersection. Understanding the obligation to yield can help keep you and your family safe. One of the most common causes of car accidents that personal injury attorneys hear is the other driver’s failure to yield.

However, yielding to the right-of-way does not just refer to instances at a controlled intersection but also to every aspect of driving, whether one is on a rural road facing a dead-end or merging onto a multi-lane highway. There are two key reasons why you should understand how one should yield when it comes to who has the right of way.

T-bone accidents can be particularly devastating. This is because many of the safety features on our cars are designed to protect drivers and passengers from front and rear-end collisions, but not side-impact collisions. Older vehicles without side airbags have little protection for the occupants from harm on impact.

In a serious injury accident, you may have questions about your injuries and how you will pay for your medical expenses. This is especially pressing when the accident was not your fault. It is important to understand how liability is determined following a broadside accident so you can pursue appropriate compensation. To discuss the specifics of your claim, contact Cohan PLLC for help.

In some states, motorcyclists can navigate around traffic using a technique known as lane splitting. Motorcyclists accomplish lane splitting by driving in the gaps between cars during heavy traffic. It is also known as white lining, stripe riding, lane sharing, or filtering. While many motorcyclists lane split throughout the nation, you might be surprised to find out that the only state that has legalized the practice is California. In 2013, Nevada proposed legislation that would legalize lane splitting. It did not pass.

Class action lawsuits are governed by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23 and 28 U.S.C. §1332(d). If the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000 and specific circumstances are met, federal district courts will be awarded original jurisdiction over the civil class action lawsuit.

To file a class action, everyone involved must be notified and provided with one of the following options: (1) joining the class action lawsuit; or (2) opting out and finding their own attorney to assist with the matter.

Initially, from the claimant's perspective, it is essential to determine if seeking independent legal counsel would be as successful as joining in a class action claim. In some cases, even though harm was caused, it might not be worth handling this legal issue individually. So, in these cases, it may make sense to participate in a class action lawsuit.

When you are injured in an accident, it seems naturally obvious to most people that you can seek compensation for your physical injuries and lost wages. However, you are also entitled to recover from the psychological and emotional harm inflicted.

Our experienced personal injury lawyers will explain what you can demand through a personal injury lawsuit, including emotional distress damages, and how Cohan PLLC will aggressively work to get you every dollar you deserve.
