This is the 41st fatal car crash to occur in Las Vegas, according to fox5vegas.com. All of these car accidents are tragic, but it is especially difficult to read about four teenagers having their lives changed forever in a single wreck. My heart goes out to the family of the 19-year-old who was killed. Losing a child is a pain I wish no parent had to endure.
If you are inside a crosswalk on a roadway, you will always receive the right-of-way from traffic (unless you are crossing against a traffic light). Vehicles must slow down or stop to allow you to finish crossing the road. The same rules apply if you are crossing a street at an intersection which is not marked with crosswalk lines on the pavement.
Before notifying an insurance company about your accident, get two or more written repair estimates, a copy of the accident report filed by police, and any invoices related to storage, towing, or rental expenses if applicable. If the total damages to your vehicle surpass 80 percent of its value, then the insurance company will total it.
The exact details of their tragic car accident are still being fleshed out. The driver of the SUV was reportedly not drinking, but we don’t know if speeding was involved or if the driver was distracted in some way.
Do NOT agree to anything the insurance adjuster initially offers. Make sure that your attorney reviews your case first. If the adjuster sends you some paperwork to sign a few days after your phone conversation, do not sign it until you show the documents to your lawyer.
Whenever you’re in an accident, it is wise to contact a personal injury lawyer. They can assist you in getting reimbursements for medical costs and other compensation to which you are entitled.
The injured victims in this wreck are probably concerned with the cost of medical expenses, the severity of their injuries, and who was at fault. This accident probably ruined their trip and being involved in a car crash is an extremely traumatic event.
Trucking companies are required by law to keep detailed driver logs and maintenance records. In addition, many trucks carry black boxes that can record valuable data about driving habits and what may have caused the wreck. The sooner we can review this data, the sooner we can start building your case and make sure we’re ready for the trucking company’s defense tactics.
As the survivor of this crash, the pressure of figuring out what to do next and picking up the pieces of your life can be overwhelming. You just lost someone very close to you and you may have suffered an injury in the accident. What should you do? What can be done to pursue justice?
Slip and fall accidents can happen almost anywhere in Las Vegas. For example, let’s say you’re inside the Bellagio Hotel and Casino heading towards their Le Cirque restaurant when you slip on a wet surface. No sign was out alerting you to this slippery spot and you hit your head very hard on the ground causing a head injury. In this situation, you should consult with a personal injury attorney and pursue a personal injury claim.
