About Nevada’s Pedestrian Accident Laws

Nevada is an At-Fault State for Pedestrian Accidents

Liability for a vehicles collision with a pedestrian will be determined by a variety of factors, including whether any traffic laws were broken, whether one party was under the influence or distracted, if someone acted recklessly, and much more. In Nevada, the party who was at least 51% responsible for the collision is liable for paying for the losses and damages of the other party. Pedestrians can also be found at-fault if they recklessly or negligently violated traffic laws.

Comparative Negligence Law

Nevada adheres to the law of comparative negligence, which means that more than one party can be found at fault for causing the accident. This is especially common in crashes that involve multiple vehicles or pedestrians. If you’ve been determined to be partially at fault for causing the victim’s injuries, you can still seek compensation for your own as long as you are less than 51% responsible for the incident. Your damages will be scaled according to your responsibility.

What is the Statute Of Limitations for Nevada Pedestrian Accidents?

As with other personal injury claims, Nevada recognizes a two year statute of limitations on pedestrian accident litigation. This means you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit against the other party. However, it can take many months to negotiate with an insurance company, gather evidence, or build a strong case, so don’t delay contacting a trusted Las Vegas personal injury attorney to begin the process.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Casualties in Las Vegas

Reckless Driving

If you were a victim of a driver who was carelessly or intentionally negligent while operating their vehicle, you may be eligible for financial compensation for your injuries, losses, and damages.

Drunk Driver

Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is a serious crime in Nevada, but drunk drivers injure or kill people every day. Drunk driving is one of the most common contributors.

Drivers Who Speed

Drivers who are impatient and fail to obey speed limits put others at risk, both on the road and sidewalk. Contact our trusted Las Vegas injury attorneys if you were hit by a speeding driver.

Distracted Driving

Pedestrians and drivers can be distracted by their phones, texting, other passengers or pedestrians, their surroundings, the radio, and much more. Unfortunately, distractions are a very common cause of crashes.

Falling Asleep While Driving

Many people drive when they are too tired to be fully aware of their surroundings. Exhaustion can impair judgment as seriously as alcohol, and drivers who fall asleep at the wheel pose a risk to themselves and others.

Poor Weather Conditions

A variety of extreme or poor weather conditions, such as monsoon rains, dust storms, high winds, and more can seriously impair a motorist’s visibility, resulting in collisions with pedestrians and other motorists.

Jaywalking

Pedestrians who walk across the road outside of the crosswalk, or fail to obey traffic signals, can cause accidents with vehicles. They may be deemed at-fault if the jaywalking led to the collision.
