Las Vegas, NV (September 28th, 2026) – A Las Vegas bicyclist suffered life-threatening injuries after police say a driver sideswiped him while attempting to pass on East Desert Inn Road and then left the scene. Police later located the driver and arrested him on suspicion of DUI and hit-and-run.

An insurance company may try to use your social media activity against you after a Nevada accident. Photos, videos, comments, check-ins, and other online activity can conflict with statements about how an accident happened or how an injury affects your life. Even a post that seems unrelated to your case may be interpreted differently when an insurer is looking for evidence to challenge liability or damages.

Having a pre-existing injury does not automatically prevent you from recovering compensation after a Nevada car accident. If a crash worsens an old back injury, aggravates a previously injured knee, or causes symptoms from an existing condition to become more severe, you may still have a claim against the at-fault party. The key issue is not whether you were perfectly healthy before the collision. Instead, the evidence must establish what harm the accident caused, including aggravation of a condition you already had.

Las Vegas, NV (September 16th, 2026) – When another party is responsible for a serious pedestrian accident, an injury claim may seek compensation for future medical treatment and rehabilitation, not only the bills accumulated immediately after the crash. For someone who suffers severe injuries, those future needs may include physical or occupational therapy, additional medical treatment, assistive equipment, and other care required during a long recovery.

Las Vegas, NV (September 8th, 2026) – A holiday weekend car accident can involve more than determining which driver caused the collision. Serious crashes may involve multiple vehicles, several injured people, questions about impairment, and insurance policies that may not provide enough coverage for everyone who was hurt.

Las Vegas, NV (September 1st, 2026) — When the circumstances of a fatal pedestrian accident raise questions about the actions of both the driver and the pedestrian, fault does not necessarily come down to choosing one person or the other.

Las Vegas, NV (August 25th, 2026) – A DUI arrest after a Las Vegas motorcycle accident can provide important evidence for an injury or wrongful death claim, but the arrest alone does not automatically prove civil liability. Investigators still look at how the crash happened, whether the driver violated traffic laws, and whether that conduct caused the motorcyclist’s injuries or death. A recent fatal crash at East Windmill Lane and South Haven Street shows how evidence of impairment and evidence of a traffic violation can become separate, important parts of the investigation.

Las Vegas, NV (August 20th, 2026) – Jaywalking does not automatically prevent you from filing a pedestrian injury claim in Nevada. The issue was highlighted after Nevada Traffic Safety crash data showed that 63% of pedestrian deaths occur where there is no crosswalk.

Las Vegas, NV (August 17th, 2026) – Yes, depending on the circumstances. You do not necessarily have to be sitting inside a Lyft vehicle to have a claim after a rideshare driver injures you. A recent Clark County lawsuit illustrates that issue. The alleged victim claims he approached the Lyft he had ordered, tried to open a locked door, and became caught by his wedding ring before the driver accelerated and dragged him approximately 300 feet. The lawsuit names both the driver and Lyft.

If a car accident happens in Nevada, Nevada law generally governs the crash, even when one or more drivers live in another state. That means Nevada's rules on fault, liability, and personal injury claims can affect your case whether you are a visitor injured while traveling or a Nevada resident hit by an out-of-state driver. Understanding how Nevada handles car accidents involving nonresidents can help you protect your rights, deal with insurance issues, and determine your next steps. This is especially relevant in Las Vegas and other popular Nevada destinations, where visitors regularly share the roads with local drivers.
