Nevada Personal Injury Lawyers Representing Accident Victims in Goodsprings

The arid community of Goodsprings, Nevada has an interesting past, all of which has transpired in the past century or so. It started with Joseph Good and his wayward cattle, who would regularly make the trek to drink from a spring nestled in the foothills of the Spring Mountains.

Goodsprings gained its notoriety as being a prosperous mining town early in the 20th Century, producing mass amounts of zinc, copper, lead, silver and gold over the years. However, after World War I, mining dwindled and families began to move away to seek new and more lucrative occupations, which today has now seen the town’s occupancy settle just above 200 inhabitants.

While Goodsprings may not be a popular place to live, it certainly has had its share of fame (wanted or otherwise) in the past.

The area boasts one of the oldest saloons in Nevada, the Pioneer Saloon, which is rumored to be haunted by the ghost of someone who was killed there by gunshot. It is in close proximity to where Carole Lombard’s plane, the TWA Flight 3, crashed into Potosi Mountain in 1942, and has most recently been featured in the video game “Fallout: New Vegas” as a post apocalyptic world.

Defending the Rights of Goodsprings’ Residents

As the residents of Goodsprings, Nevada, know, it’s their proximity to Lake Mead and Las Vegas (while still being far enough away to enjoy a quieter lifestyle) that makes this area an ideal place to live. While most individuals come home from an adventure at nearby Lake Mead unscathed, there are injuries or even fatalities that can and do occur on those waters, more often than not due to the negligence of another individual.

Common Accidents on Lake Mead

Some of the most common boating or watercraft-related accidents include:

Capsizing
Drowning
Wounds and lacerations

These issues are almost always the result of the negligence of another individual for one reason or another:

Inexperience or lack of education in operating a watercraft
Drinking or taking drugs (including prescription medications)
Inattention
Recklessness

One person’s fun day out on the water shouldn’t interfere with the good times of another, which is why our committed personal injury attorneys at the law office of Bertoldo, Baker, Carter and Smith regularly defend the rights of those who have been injured in a watercraft-related accidents.
