Pedestrian Accidents in Las Vegas, Nevada
Vehicle versus pedestrian crashes leave the injured party facing medical bills and lost income while the investigation into fault is still underway.
- Who may be liable: the driver of the vehicle, and, where a signal or roadway condition played a role, the entity responsible for maintaining the intersection
- What attorneys and investigators examine: witness statements, available traffic camera footage, the police report, and the driver’s citation history
- Comparative negligence: Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence standard (NRS 41.141), meaning an injured pedestrian can still recover compensation provided they were less than 51% at fault
Under Nevada law, an injured pedestrian has two years from the date of the crash, until September 19, 2028, to file a personal injury claim (NRS 11.190).
