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

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.
