Car Accidents in Las Vegas, Nevada
Two-vehicle intersection crashes like this one are common across the Las Vegas Valley: vehicle-occupant deaths in Clark County still totaled 85 in 2025, a 29 percent drop from 120 the year before, according to the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety. Nevada law lets an injured driver or passenger pursue a personal injury claim even when fault between the two drivers is unclear.
Four actions protect a claim in the days after a crash like this:
- See a doctor the same day, even without visible injuries, since conditions such as whiplash, concussions, and soft tissue damage often surface hours or days later
- Decline to give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company before consulting an attorney
- Preserve evidence immediately, including photos of both vehicles, the intersection, and any visible injuries, plus contact information for witnesses at the scene
- Wait to accept a settlement offer until an attorney has reviewed the full extent of the injuries

Nevada’s modified comparative negligence rule (NRS 41.141) lets an injured driver recover damages provided they are found less than 51 percent at fault. When three people are hurt in one crash, each occupant’s claim is evaluated on their own injuries, treatment, and lost income, not combined into one payout.
Nevada law sets a two-year deadline from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim (NRS 11.190). For this crash, that deadline falls on August 15, 2028.

Three separate insurance claims are moving at once after this crash, one for each person hurt, and the at-fault driver’s insurer only has to protect its own payout, not any of them.
Ace Law Group takes over that negotiation for injured drivers and passengers across the Las Vegas Valley, working each occupant’s claim on its own medical records and lost wages rather than folding everyone into one settlement number. Attorney Patrick W. Kang founded the firm on that approach. Hon. Christopher K. Lee (Ret.), a former Nevada judge, reviews case strategy before any settlement offer goes back to an insurer.
Our Las Vegas auto accident attorneys have recovered more than $175 million for injured clients statewide, including a $1.9 million jury verdict against an insurance company in a car crash claim and a $1.1 million car accident verdict.
A recorded statement given to the other driver’s insurer before medical records are complete is one of the most common ways a claim gets undervalued. We handle that conversation instead.
We handle personal injury cases on contingency: no fee unless we recover money for the client. Call us directly at (702) 508-7675.
