Be Aware of Nevada Dog Bite Laws and Risks

Posted on by TheSph3r3

Dog bites happen far more regularly than people think. While our canine friends are supposed to be our best buddies, they are still animals and often snap or take quick bites to communicate that someone or some thing needs to get away from them quickly. Unfortunately, even a quick snap can cause serious damage to a person unlucky enough to be bit. Further, Nevada state law allows a victim to sue a dog owner for negligence, allowing damages for pain and suffering. Those claims can get very expensive very quickly for a dog owner who is unprepared for the related risk.

The All Nevada Insurance Blog can guide you on how to deal with dog bite risk. The danger is real, and every dog owner should be aware of what state law requires in the case of a dog bite. Owners can avoid this problem by being prepared and taking precautions ahead of time with their canine friends to avoid accidents and related legal costs. Give All Nevada Insurance a call for more information if you have questions.

The Perils of Staged Car Accidents

Posted on by TheSph3r3

If you’re not aware of staged car accidents, you may not be able to adequately protect yourself from them. A staged car accident is a car accident that another person initiates intentionally for a variety of reasons. The driver could be seeking medical care for an existing problem, such as a spinal injury. More often, the driver is looking for a quick settlement or even a payoff.

Staged car accidents often occur in two stages: one car will get in front of you and will slow or stop suddenly, and this will drive you into another car to your side. The car at your side will claim to not have seen anything at all that would have caused you to swerve.

Other times, a staged car accident can be as simple as another car tapping their brakes to get you to hit them from the back. It’s important to note, however, that all of these accidents rely on you being too close to other vehicles. If you ever feel boxed in by other cars, or as though other drivers are getting too close, you should take immediate action to get away.

Staying Safe Around The Pool

Posted on by TheSph3r3

Adding a pool to your backyard is a great way to stay in shape and cool down during the summer. However, everyone in the family needs to learn basic pool safety skills before they get around the open water. This can help prevent many injuries and accidents.

Start by teaching everyone to swim with an adult, and ask adults or teens to swim with a buddy as well. Install alarms on pool gates and use only tall, secure gates to ensure the youngest members and pets can’t accidentally wander into the area.

Keep floatation devices near the pool at all times. If someone does fall in, you need to immediately be able to throw them a ring. Consider safety covers that keep animals and children from falling in when the structure’s not in use. All of these efforts will help you avoid the need to make claims against your homeowners insurance policy. If your current coverage doesn’t include injuries related to your pool, contact All Nevada Insurance for more information. Nevada residents should take the time to insure every major home addition or improvement shortly after construction is completed.
