Las Vegas Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Eric Blank Injury Attorneys defends the rights of pedestrians who have been involved in an accident.
Attorney Eric Blank

Pedestrian Accident Lawyer in Las Vegas

Pedestrians are vulnerable on the road. They do not stand a chance against any motor vehicle. The purpose of traffic laws is to protect them as much as possible, but unfortunately, drivers don’t always follow these rules.

There are a lot of pedestrian accident cases in Las Vegas, and most involve impaired or reckless drivers.

Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Las Vegas

Most of the incidents involve people living and working in the city. Several factors come into play in these accidents, such as:

  • A driver failing to yield when nearing an intersection or pedestrian crossing
  • When a motor vehicle runs a red light or does not follow the speed limit
  • Distracted driving due to phone use
  • Operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol

Pedestrians have the right to feel safe while using a crossing. At Eric Blank Injury Attorneys, we fight for victims to get proper compensation, and help prevent future accidents by holding drivers accountable for their actions.

Determining Liability for Pedestrian Accidents in Las Vegas

Motorists are responsible for their actions on the road. They should follow a standard of reasonable caution.

As simple as that may sound, several accidents happen because the driver of a motor vehicle fails to adhere to the rules of the road. Not yielding to a crosswalk is enough to end the life of a pedestrian.

On the part of pedestrians, they have to make sure to follow the rules, too. Use the proper crosswalks, look for oncoming cars, and remain vigilant when crossing the road.

In most pedestrian accidents, the insurance company and the motorist blame the pedestrian. It has become a common tactic to blame the victim even if the driver knows they were at fault.

Even if a pedestrian has some fault, they can still file a claim. Nevada is a comparative negligence state. That means a jury will look at the facts and assess what percentage of fault the plaintiff and defendant have for the accident. You can sue for compensation if you carry less than 50% of the culpability.

What Should You Do If Hit by a Car?

If you get hit by a car or motor vehicle while crossing the street, remember that your health comes first. Call 911 immediately, if you can. It is crucial to know that not all injuries manifest right away. A blow to the head can make you dizzy now and can develop into a concussion in a few days. Getting proper medical attention is your priority.

Try to gather information. Get the name and contact details of the driver and any potential witnesses. Make sure to report the accident to the police.

All of this will help us once you contact our Las Vegas pedestrian accident lawyer to build your case.

Statute of Limitations for Pedestrian Accidents in Las Vegas

Your priority after getting into a pedestrian accident is your health. Focus on getting better and healing from the injuries. However, you have to know that there is a limited time-window to claim compensation.

A statute of limitations is imposed on injury claims to prevent potential defendants from unfair prosecution. Evidence can deteriorate over the years, making the case challenging.

For pedestrian accidents in Las Vegas, you have two years to file a claim, so don’t hesitate to contact Eric Blank Injury Attorneys today.
