Ben Bingham

Why did you become an attorney? From a young age the thought of becoming an advocate always appealed to me. The mere idea of having a profession, the education, and the ability to appear in court to present an argument lured me in. Upon turning 16 and obtaining a drivers license, I obtained employment as a runner at a law office. I maintained the same employment until the end of my college days at UNLV. Gaining experience from the attorneys and familiarizing myself with the court house. The influences I received throughout that opportunity sealed the deal. After college it was straight to law school. The practice of law presents challenges on a daily bases far from the mundane 9-5. Frankly, my personality is incapable of a day to day desk job without lashing out. The constant argument with insurance adjusters and defense attorneys over liability issues and medical records, fighting for what's right, suits me well.

Q. If a flatbed tow truck driver asks you to drive your own car onto the bed, and it gets scratched, who's at fault?

December 7, 2023

A: It's unfortunate to hear about the damage to your car in this situation. Determining fault in such scenarios can be complex. Generally, the responsibility for loading a vehicle onto a tow truck often falls on the tow truck driver. However, in this case, since the driver asked you to drive the car onto the ramp and did not provide any warning or have you sign a waiver, the situation becomes less clear-cut. The lack of guidance or warning from the tow truck driver could be seen as a failure in their duty to ensure safe loading. Yet, as you were the one driving, there could be an argument for shared responsibility.

Given these nuances, it might be worthwhile to consult with a local attorney, particularly one experienced in auto accidents or property damage claims. They can provide advice based on the specifics of your case, including any relevant laws and standard practices in the towing industry that may be unique to your state. This would help clarify whether the tow truck driver's actions were legally permissible and what your options might be for seeking compensation for the damage. ... Read More

Q. The case settle and signed all documents and notarized, how long will I get my settlement payments?

December 14, 2021

A: Typical turn around times are two - four weeks. However, there are factors which can cause delays. If medical liens exist with medicare or medicaid and your attorney is requesting reductions on the amount you are required to pay back, the same can take weeks. Further, if your claim was in litigation a voluntary dismissal of the claim will need to be filed with the courts. Finally, if there were other parties involved in the accident who were injured and not at fault, the opposing insurance company may not resolve or pay out on your claim until all of the parties have agreed to settle.

To ensure your attorney is not withholding funds, ask for a copy of recent correspondence between your counsel and the insurance company or defense attorney. Has the attorney inquired as to the delay? Has your attorney already provided the opposing party with a copy of the signed release? Does your attorney have the funds in trust pending reduction requests? I strongly suggest you make a 15 minute appointment with your attorney to receive answers to these questions. Most attorneys are trustworthy and sometimes a quick meeting or phone call to catch a client up to speed on a claim will resolve any concerns. Hope this helps! ... Read More

Q. Got hurt at Walmart don't remember the day that happened did fill out a report and without the date do I have a case

December 14, 2021

A: The simple answer is Yes, you still have a case. The important thing is that you filled out an incident report. Our firm has filed numerous claims against Walmart. Historically, Walmart does a fair job in preserving the evidence and getting statements from the injured party and potential witnesses. They will usually take photographs of the surrounding area where the incident took place and document physical injuries that may be observed. Finally, they will keep the incident report as this places them on notice of potential liability and triggers their duty to preserve evidence. You may want to attempt to contact Walmarts risk management department to obtain a copy of the incident report. If they will not turn the same over, you can file a lawsuit and serve a subpoena which will force their hand in turning the documents over. ... Read More
