Las Vegas Drunk Driving Accident Attorney

Every year, reckless choices by impaired drivers on the roads throughout the Las Vegas Valley shatter the lives of innocent people. In Clark County alone, hundreds of severe crashes take place on busy roads like the Las Vegas Strip, Interstate 15, and the 215 Beltway, resulting in life-altering injuries and preventable deaths. Suffering a severe injury due to someone else choosing to get behind the wheel while intoxicated forces you into a complex process to get justice and financial recovery. When you need a trusted Las Vegas drunk driving accident lawyer, Friedman Injury Law is ready to take on the insurance companies and fight for every dollar you deserve.

How Our Las Vegas Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer Works For You

Choosing Friedman Injury Law means gaining a dedicated team in Las Vegas, Nevada, that handles every detail of your civil claim while you focus on healing. Our team takes aggressive action on your behalf by:

  • Gathering key evidence from the scene, including official crash records and surrounding surveillance footage
  • Collecting breathalyzer results, blood test data, and police report documentation from the responding officers
  • Managing all calls, paperwork, and settlement negotiations with insurance providers
  • Calculating the full extent of your past, current, and future medical bills and lost income
  • Filing a personal injury lawsuit and going to trial if the insurance company refuses a fair payout

Insurance companies often try to settle quickly for a small fraction of what your injuries are worth, but our deep familiarity with local legal proceedings stops them from taking advantage of you.

Differences in Las Vegas Drunk Driving Accident Claims

A personal injury claim involving an intoxicated driver differs from standard traffic accidents because it often runs parallel to a criminal case. The state of Nevada will prosecute the driver under NRS 484C for driving under the influence, but that criminal trial focuses solely on punishing the offender through fines, license suspensions, or jail time. It will not pay for your emergency room bills, physical therapy, or missed paychecks.

To cover your losses, you must file a separate civil personal injury claim against the at-fault driver. Fortunately, evidence produced in the criminal prosecution can strengthen your civil personal injury case. Strong evidence includes:

  • Detailed police report entries and arresting officer notes
  • Official blood alcohol concentration test results
  • Eyewitness statements recorded at the scene
  • Traffic camera, dashcam, or casino security video footage

Under Nevada law, courts may also award punitive damages in cases involving gross negligence or intentional misconduct. Punitive damages are designed to punish the driver for extreme recklessness and warn others against repeating that behavior.

Compensation Available in a Nevada Drunk Driving Accident Claim

Victims injured by an at-fault driver in Nevada have the right to seek financial recovery for all physical, emotional, and financial losses resulting from the event. Depending on the details of your case, your attorney can demand compensation for:

  • Past and future medical treatment, including emergency care, surgeries, physical therapy, and prescription medications
  • Missed paychecks and lost future earning capacity if your injuries limit your ability to work
  • Physical pain, suffering, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life
  • Repairs or replacement costs for your personal property
  • Punitive damages if the driver acted with extreme disregard for the safety of others

Nevada Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Claims

Nevada Revised Statute NRS 11.190(4)(e) establishes a strict deadline for filing a personal injury claim. In Nevada, you generally have two years from the exact date of your accident to file a civil lawsuit against the person who hit you.

If you fail to take legal action before this two-year deadline passes, you will lose your right to pursue financial compensation through the court system permanently. Gathering physical evidence and obtaining medical records takes time, so contacting a law firm immediately helps protect your rights and keeps your claim moving forward.
