With so much to see and do, such a large number of people in one area, and new roads and communities popping up around every turn, it’s no surprise that Las Vegas is filled with accident and injury risks.
If you have been injured through no fault of your own, a skilled Las Vegas personal injury lawyer could help you hold the negligent party responsible.
The Nevada Department of Transportation continues to monitor road accidents and, sadly, has found that Las Vegas and Clark County report more pedestrian accidents and fatalities than any other area in Nevada. Most of these accidents occur on weekends and overnight, peak time for casinos and the nightlife Las Vegas is known for.
Motorists who are distracted looking for their destination, driving intoxicated, or texting are apt to run into pedestrians enjoying the nightlife, too. These accidents are usually catastrophic because the human body is no match for two tons of screeching metal.
The FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Program named Las Vegas as the U.S. city with the most drunk driving arrests in a recent year, although the 2024 statistics show an improvement. If an impaired driver slams into you, whether you are also a motorist or a pedestrian, a Las Vegas attorney could help you receive the money you are entitled to recover for your losses.
Owners in Las Vegas have a duty to keep their property safe for those visiting. Hotel and casino owners are no exception. For example, if you slip and fall over loose carpeting, are mugged for your winnings in a dark parking lot with no security, or fall down an unlit stairway, you may have a lawsuit against the party responsible.
When you are a patron of a casino, you are considered an invitee who is on the premises as a customer or client for mutual benefit with the owner. You are owed the highest duty of care from the owner, who must inspect the premises for dangerous conditions.
Although motorist accidents involving drunk driving top the list for personal injury accidents, other situations arise that amount to negligence. These include:
