Pahrump, NV (October 13, 2026) – A fatal motorcycle crash during a high-speed police pursuit in Pahrump raises questions about who may be held responsible when a fleeing driver kills an innocent motorist. Under Nevada law, the fleeing driver may face civil liability for the death, but determining whether law enforcement also shares responsibility requires examining the circumstances of the pursuit. Although police officers have certain driving privileges during emergencies, they still have a duty to protect public safety. Families may have grounds to pursue a wrongful death claim against those whose negligent or reckless actions contributed to a fatal collision.

Las Vegas, NV (October 7th, 2026) – A green light allows a driver to proceed through an intersection, but it does not always give that driver the right of way over a pedestrian. Under Nevada law, a driver turning left or right on a circular green light must yield to pedestrians who are lawfully within the intersection or an adjacent crosswalk.

Las Vegas, NV (September 30th, 2026) – A pedestrian crossing outside a crosswalk can affect a wrongful death claim in Nevada, but it does not automatically prevent the family from pursuing compensation. That question is especially relevant after a recent Las Vegas crash in which police say a 52-year-old pedestrian entered Lake Mead Boulevard outside a crosswalk before a collision with a semi-truck.

Las Vegas, NV (September 24, 2026) – Injured child passengers play no role in causing a crash, making their right to financial recovery distinct from driver disputes. Following complex accidents, like a recent Las Vegas collision at Nellis Boulevard and Owens Avenue that critically injured a 4-year-old, Nevada law permits fault to be divided among all responsible drivers. An injury claim for a child must evaluate every driver's negligence to ensure all available insurance coverage is pursued.

The incident raises an important question for workers injured on jobsites involving contractors, subcontractors, equipment providers, and other businesses: Is workers’ compensation the only way to recover after a workplace injury?
