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.

April 10, 2024

A: It sounds like you've been through a difficult and distressing experience. If you're seeking legal advice or assistance with your situation, it's essential to consult with a qualified attorney who specializes in personal injury cases. They can provide guidance on your rights, options for recourse, and potential avenues for seeking compensation for your injuries and losses. Additionally, they can help navigate the complexities of the legal process and advocate for your best interests. It's important to gather any relevant documentation or evidence related to the incident, including medical records and any correspondence with the MTD or their insurance company.

Q. Can I sue a police department for not doing their job by not properly investigating a murder?

March 7, 2024

A: Suing a police department for a failure in conducting a proper investigation, especially in a murder case, is a nuanced and intricate legal matter. While challenging, it's not impossible under certain circumstances.

Establishing a Breach of Duty: You'd need to prove that the police department had an obligation to conduct a thorough investigation and that they failed to fulfill this duty. This involves showing that their actions were not just inadequate but fell significantly below the expected standard of a competent investigation.

Proving a Connection to Civil Rights: If the failure in investigation can be tied to a violation of civil rights, such as discrimination or a systemic issue within the department, it might form the basis for a lawsuit under federal civil rights laws.

Demonstrating Harm: It's crucial to show that the department's failure has directly caused harm. This harm must be tangible and directly connected to the lack of a proper investigation.

Municipal Liability: As per legal precedents like the Monell decision, a municipality or police department can be held liable if the investigative failure stemmed from an official policy or a widespread practice within the department.

To navigate this complex legal terrain, it's vital to seek counsel from an attorney experienced in dealing with police misconduct or civil rights litigation. They can provide a detailed evaluation of your case, considering all the specifics, including the issue with the missing case file and the detective's empty file, to offer a strategic approach to your potential lawsuit.

Remember, there are specific time limits for initiating legal action against government entities, which vary by location. Prompt consultation with a legal professional is essential to ensure your case is pursued within the applicable legal timeframe. ... Read More

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
