BLAKE S.
FRIEDMAN, ESQ.

Hit-and-run accidents can leave you helpless because the responsible party flees the scene. Finding justice can seem like an uphill battle whether you’ve been injured, lost a loved one, or are dealing with property damage. But you don’t have to face it alone. A Las Vegas hit-and-run accidents attorney can help you hold the at-fault driver accountable and recover the compensation you deserve. Attorney Blake S. Friedman is ready to fight for your rights and handle your case with care and dedication.

Types of Hit-and-Run Accidents

Some of the most common types of hit-and-run accidents in Las Vegas include the following:

  • Vehicle collisions. One of the most common forms, where one driver hits another car and leaves the scene without stopping to exchange information or render aid.
  • Pedestrian accidents. When a car strikes a pedestrian and flees, the pedestrian can suffer greatly if no one renders aid fast enough.
  • Cyclist accidents. Cyclists, like pedestrians, face significant risks in hit-and-run incidents. Drivers who don’t give cyclists proper space or fail to see them can cause devastating injuries.
  • Property damage only. In some cases, hit-and-run accidents only involve property damage, such as when a driver hits a parked car or a fence. Even though there may not be injuries, these cases still require legal attention.

If you have experienced any of these types of crashes, quickly seeking legal help can make a significant difference in your recovery. Each case presents unique challenges, but the professionals at Friedman Injury Law can guide you through the process, building a strong case to help you recover damages.

Nevada Hit-and-Run Laws

Under Nevada law, it is illegal for a driver to leave the scene of an accident without providing identifying information or rendering aid when necessary. This applies whether the accident involves injury, death, or property damage. Fleeing the scene of an accident can lead to criminal penalties, including fines, license suspension, and even imprisonment.

If you’ve been involved in a hit-and-run accident, Nevada Revised Statute § 484E.010 requires drivers to stop at the scene of an accident resulting in injury or death. They must also provide their personal information and render reasonable assistance, such as calling for medical help. 

Nevada’s laws are clear, but tracking down the driver responsible for a hit-and-run can be challenging. This is why working with a Las Vegas hit-and-run accident lawyer is essential. Blake S. Friedman understands Nevada law and can help ensure that every legal avenue is explored in your case.

Steps to Take After a Hit-and-Run Accident

There are steps you can take to strengthen your case and increase the chances of finding the responsible party after a hit-and-run crash.

  • Call the police. Immediately reporting the accident is critical. The police will document the scene, gather evidence, and create an official report.
  • Seek medical attention. Even if you feel fine, it’s essential to get checked by a medical professional. Injuries can sometimes be masked by adrenaline or have a delayed onset.
  • Collect evidence. Take photos of the damage, skid marks, and debris at the scene if possible. If there were witnesses, get their contact information.
  • Contact a lawyer. Reaching out to a Las Vegas hit-and-run accident lawyer will ensure your case is handled professionally. They can investigate, gather evidence, and help you recover compensation through insurance or identifying the fleeing driver.

These steps not only protect your rights but also help your attorney build a stronger case on your behalf.

From day one, Blake, Kevin and their staff gave me a sense of trust and relief when I needed it most. After previously going to another law firm that left me feeling hopeless, finding this team was a blessing. Being involved in a car accident is incredibly traumatic, especially when children are involved, and during one of the most frightening times of my life, they truly stepped up for me. They treated me with kindness, patience, and compassion, always keeping me informed and never making me feel like just another case. I can’t thank them enough for the care and dedication they showed my family and me. They turned a very stressful experience into something manageable, and for that I will always be grateful. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal help.
