Fatal Pedestrian Accidents in Las Vegas, NV

When a pedestrian is killed on a Las Vegas road, the location of the crossing does not automatically determine fault. Nevada follows a modified comparative fault standard (NRS 41.141) – meaning the family may still recover compensation even if the pedestrian bore some responsibility, provided their loved one was less than 51% at fault.

What the family should do right now:

Contact an attorney before the investigation closes – nighttime crash evidence, including surveillance footage and witness accounts, disappears quickly
Do not speak to the driver’s insurance company without legal representation
Do not sign any documents or accept any settlement before consulting an attorney

Nevada’s deadline: Wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the date of death (NRS 41.085).
