Hit-and-run pedestrian fatalities remain a major problem across Las Vegas, particularly along busy roadways like Flamingo Road and Decatur Boulevard, where traffic is heavy even during early morning hours. These crashes often occur when drivers fail to yield, speed, or flee the scene to avoid criminal responsibility.
Under Nevada law, leaving the scene of a crash that causes injury or death is a felony offense. Surviving families of hit-and-run victims have the right to file a wrongful death claim seeking compensation for medical expenses, funeral costs, lost financial support, and emotional distress.
