Las Vegas is a fast-paced city. People want what they want immediately, be it their Grubhub order or their bag of dog food from Amazon. There are delivery drivers of every stripe zipping around the city from the Strip to the outlying suburbs.
That can make for an uptick in serious accidents with the drivers jockeying for position in often bumper-to-bumper traffic.
Were you hurt in a Las Vegas traffic accident?
It happens all-too-frequently. It could be a tourist gaping out the window at the sights of the Strip and not paying attention to the backed-up traffic ahead. All of a sudden, you’re slammed from the rear.
Or it could be a delivery driver striving to meet his frantic deadlines before his day is done. He barrels through a redlight and T-bones your door. Those types of collisions can lead to life-changing, even fatal, injuries.
How can you seek justice?
The liable driver who struck your vehicle may face criminal charges for their role in the accident. Keep in mind that those who drive for companies (even those who operate their own vehicles) are typically covered by significant personal injury insurance policies.
Your injuries may be serious and cause life-altering conditions like paralysis or traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Some accidents spark fires that leave the other driver and/or their passengers with devastating, permanent scars from their burns.
In those circumstances, life as you knew it changed upon impact. Now, you must pick up the pieces of your life and move forward into the new normal. Learning more about how to seek civil justice here under the laws of the state of Nevada can lead to a better outcome.
