Every day, people walk the streets and crosswalks of Centennial Hills, going to shops, to bus stops, to parks, to restaurants along Centennial Center Boulevard, and numerous other destinations. Most of those trips end without incident.

Liability in Centennial Hills Pedestrian Accident Cases
As outlined at NRS 484B.280, every Nevada driver has an affirmative duty to exercise care to avoid colliding with a pedestrian and to use proper caution around crosswalks, bus stops, and school zones.
Additionally, NRS 484B.283 requires drivers to yield the right of way to pedestrians at both marked and unmarked crosswalks. When a driver violates these duties and strikes a pedestrian, that violation can constitute reckless driving under NRS 484B.653, which carries significant weight in a civil claim.
Other parties could also be at fault. For example, if a malfunctioning traffic signal contributed to the accident, a government entity could be liable. Likewise, if a driver’s brakes failed, a manufacturer or negligent repair business could bear responsibility.
At Benson & Bingham, our Centennial Hills pedestrian accident lawyers will scrutinize the facts of your accident to identify all possible causes and potentially liable parties to help you recover maximum compensation.
Common Pedestrian Accident Injuries
Pedestrian accident injuries are often severe. Some of the most common include:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken, crushed, or shattered bones
- Loss of limbs
- Pelvic injuries
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Severe road rash
- PTSD and other psychological injuries
Some of these injuries result in permanent disabilities and the need for extensive medical treatment. Even if you do not believe your injuries are severe, you should seek immediate medical attention since some damage may not be immediately apparent, but could be life-threatening. Having a prompt medical evaluation can help save your life and protect your rights to recover the full value of your claim.
Why You Need a Centennial Hills Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
The insurance company representing the at-fault driver is not on your side. From the moment a claim is filed, their team is working to minimize what they pay out.
Without a lawyer, you are negotiating these arguments without knowing what your case is actually worth, without an independent investigation of what the driver did wrong, and without anyone building the evidence that establishes your strongest case.
The statute of limitations under NRS 11.190(4)(e) gives you two years from the date of the accident to file suit, but critical evidence disappears far sooner than that. Acting quickly matters.
Your chances of a successful outcome are much greater when an experienced Centennial Hills pedestrian accident lawyer is fighting for you.
