FRIEDMAN, ESQ.

Being hit by a car while walking in Las Vegas can leave you shaken and unsure of what to do next. The physical pain can be overwhelming, and medical bills can quickly pile up. If you’ve been injured in a pedestrian accident, securing the proper legal representation is essential to getting the compensation you need to move forward in your life. A qualified Las Vegas pedestrian accident lawyer can advocate for your rights and help you get the compensation you deserve.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents 

A Las Vegas pedestrian accident attorney’s experience gives them insight into the common causes of pedestrian accidents in Las Vegas. Determining the cause of your accident helps your attorney determine if you have a case. 

Distracted Driving

In our fast-paced world, drivers are constantly bombarded with distractions, including text messages, social media, navigation systems, and in-car entertainment. A driver’s focus is easily diverted and increases the risk of an accident with a pedestrian. Las Vegas pedestrian accident attorneys search for evidence proving that a driver was distracted when they hit you so they can hold them responsible for your losses.

Driving Under the Influence

Las Vegas is a city known for its nightlife. Unfortunately, this also means that Las Vegas leads the country in the total of arrests related to driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. An intoxicated driver’s impaired judgment and reaction time significantly increases the likelihood of a pedestrian accident.

Failing to Yield the Right of Way

Drivers are legally obligated to yield the right of way to pedestrians at crosswalks and marked intersections. Ignoring these rules can have devastating consequences. Unfortunately, any good pedestrian accident attorney in Las Vegas knows that many drivers don’t stop for pedestrians but rush through intersections to reach their next destination.

Speeding

Speeding reduces a driver’s reaction time and increases the severity of any potential impact. Las Vegas pedestrian accident lawyers carefully review police reports, video footage, or eyewitness statements. Such a review helps them determine whether the driver responsible for your injuries was speeding at the time of the accident.

Poor Road Conditions

Uneven pavement, lack of proper signage, or malfunctioning traffic signals can all contribute to pedestrian accidents. The driver may not be the only party responsible for your losses in these situations. Suppose the condition of the road was dangerous and caused your accident. In that case, your pedestrian accident lawyers in Las Vegas works to hold the right municipal or government agency responsible for your harm. 

Recognizing the common causes of pedestrian collisions helps your attorney determine if someone else’s negligence contributed to your harm.

What Can I Recover? 

Regarding recovering compensation after a pedestrian accident, there are two main categories of damages: economic and non-economic.

Economic Damages

Economic damages represent quantifiable losses supported by clear financial records and include the following:

  • Medical expenses—Medical expenses cover all past, present, and future medical costs associated with your accident, including doctor visits, hospital stays, surgery, medication, and rehabilitation;
  • Lost wages—If your injuries prevent you from working or limit your ability to perform your duties, you may be compensated for this lost income and loss of future earnings; and
  • Property damage—If your personal belongings were damaged in the accident, you may be able to recover compensation for their repair or replacement.

A Las Vegas pedestrian accident attorney uses documentary evidence to calculate the value of these economic losses. 

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages are more subjective and represent the intangible losses you’ve suffered due to the accident, including:

  • Loss of enjoyment of life—If your injuries prevent you from participating in activities you once enjoyed, you may be able to recover compensation for this loss of quality of life.
  • Pain and suffering—Pain and suffering covers the physical and emotional pain you’ve endured as a result of your injuries;
  • Emotional distress—A victim may seek compensation for the anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other emotional distress stemming from the accident;
  • Loss of consortium—If your injuries have impacted your ability to maintain a normal marital relationship, your spouse may be entitled to compensation for this loss; and
