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.

Las Vegas, NV (August 11th, 2026)—A DUI arrest can create a valuable evidence trail for someone injured in a Las Vegas crash. Police reports, chemical testing, officer observations, citations, witness statements, and other records may help establish whether an impaired driver caused the collision. After a crash, a car accident lawyer can investigate those records and determine what they reveal about fault and your injuries. 

Las Vegas, NV (July 22nd, 2026) – A collision involving a driverless vehicle creates many of the same legal questions as any other crash: Who was responsible, and what evidence proves it? However, autonomous vehicles add another layer to the investigation because they generate large amounts of digital information that can help explain what happened before impact.

Las Vegas, NV (July 20th, 2026) – A driverless car crash raises a difficult legal question: who is responsible when no human driver is behind the wheel? As autonomous vehicles become more common on Las Vegas roads, injured victims may need to look beyond traditional car accident claims to identify every party that may share responsibility.

Las Vegas, NV (July 14th, 2026) – As students prepare to head back to school across the Las Vegas Valley, the Clark County School District Police Department is sending drivers a clear message to slow down or expect a ticket.
