For the most part, drivers in Nevada operate their vehicles safely, follow applicable traffic laws, and maintain awareness of nearby commuters. Unfortunately, when motorists act recklessly or carelessly behind the wheel, they put themselves and others at risk of serious harm.
If you or a loved one were hurt in a collision with a negligent driver, you should consider speaking with a Paradise car accident lawyer. Our dedicated attorneys at LVNV Legal | Injury Law Firm can review your case and help you put together a strong claim to damages.
Car crashes can occur for numerous reasons. Intoxicated drivers frequently are involved in collisions with other motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists. Additionally, with the rise of cell phone use, accidents caused by texting and driving are also on the rise. Violating traffic laws, failing to yield, or any number of negligent actions can all result in devastating collisions.
Injuries frequently seen in car wrecks include:
Car accidents in Paradise that are the direct result of another’s misconduct can be grounds for civil compensation with help from a local attorney. Our team at LVNV Legal can assist with gathering and presenting evidence to show that the defendant owed you a duty of care that they breached which directly resulted in the accident that caused you harm.
Even if you do not use your car, truck, SUV, or another motor vehicle, the state of Nevada requires you to maintain liability insurance for the duration of your registration. Under Nevada Revised Statutes § 485.185, the law mandates a minimum of $25,000 for bodily injury or death to a single person in an accident, $50,000 for bodily injury or death to two or more people in an accident, and $20,000 for property damage in an accident.
Damages refer to the financial compensation you could receive for your economic and non-economic losses resulting from the car wreck. This compensation aims to place you in the same financial position you would have been in had the crash not occurred.
Our Paradise lawyers could help you seek compensation for medical costs, pain and suffering, physical therapy, rehab, car repairs, and lost income after being harmed in a vehicle accident. In severe cases, you could potentially recover punitive damages, which are intended to punish parties that have engaged in particularly dangerous conduct. However, these damages can only be recovered through trial, not settlement negotiations.
Notably, state law only allows an injured driver two years from the date of their injuries to file a claim against the party at fault. If you have been in a car accident in Paradise, you should get started on preparing your claim with our lawyers at LVNV Legal as soon as possible.
The defendant driver and their insurance company will fight hard to avoid any liability for the wreck. You deserve strong representation to help you recover the compensation you are owed. Call a Paradise car accident lawyer at LVNV Legal today to get started on your case.
