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.

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.

Nevada law considers the actions of everyone involved when determining fault.

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.

Las Vegas, NV (June 11, 2026) – A business in Las Vegas may face a lawsuit if staff fail to take reasonable steps to get emergency medical help for an unresponsive or seriously injured guest.
