We’re Here To Help
If you were hit by a vehicle while walking, you shouldn’t have to deal with the aftermath alone.
We know how overwhelming it can feel to face medical bills, missed work, and insurance companies after a pedestrian accident. When you contact us, we’ll listen to your story, explain your options, and start building a plan to help you get the compensation you deserve.
Filing A Claim For A Pedestrian Accident
You typically have two years from the date of a pedestrian accident to file a lawsuit in Nevada. If the accident resulted in a death, the deadline is two years from the date of death.
While you focus on recovering, we can help you understand your legal options and handle the claims process. Pedestrian accidents often cause serious injuries, and it’s important to act quickly so we can gather evidence and protect your right to compensation.
What To Do After
After a pedestrian accident in Nevada, take these steps to help protect your case for compensation:
Call 911
Responders will secure the area, control the situation, and prepare an official report, ensuring proper documentation for any necessary follow-up.
Save All Evidence
Take photo and video of the scene. Store reports, important items, and any records securely so nothing useful to your case is lost or misplaced.
Seek Medical Attention
A prompt exam can uncover unseen injuries and create important documentation for your claim
Follow Your Doctor’s Instructions
Attend all follow-up appointments, complete recommended treatments, and participate in any necessary therapies.
Report the Accident
If the incident occurred in public, notify nearby people, business owners, or file an incident report.
Contact a Lawyer

Journal
Record detailed notes about how the accident occurred and track symptoms, treatments, and recollections related to your recovery process.

Answering Your Questions
How do I document my claim?
Treating your injuries is your first priority. Even if the accident was minor, you should still seek immediate medical treatment because your initial injuries may worsen. Getting to a doctor documents your injuries and creates a solid claim.
To further document your claim, cooperate with the police investigation and request a copy of the incident report. Take photos of the scene and of the car if you can. It’s also helpful to get the contact and insurance information of the other driver and of any witnesses.
Insurance adjusters may try to deny or reduce your claim, so proper documentation protects your right to compensation.
What liability issues might affect my claim?
Drivers have an obligation to pay attention to the road and look out for pedestrians. But, an issue of comparative negligence may complicate a pedestrian claim. For example, the driver could have been speeding, and the pedestrian could have been jaywalking.
In Nevada, a modified comparative negligence state, both parties’ fault is assessed, and a pedestrian’s share of blame reduces their recovery. If the pedestrian was more than 50% at fault, there is no recovery.
Can I still pursue a pedestrian injury claim if I was jaywalking?
Jaywalking may be illegal in Nevada, but it does not automatically disqualify you from seeking compensation for your injuries. Through comparative fault, we may be able to demonstrate that the driver was more responsible for the accident. If successful, this can help you recover compensation for your medical treatment and other damages.
How can I get compensated if the driver who hit me was uninsured?
A good personal injury lawyer will explore all available avenues for your compensation, including your own car insurance. Even if you were not driving at the time of the pedestrian accident, your optional uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) policy can pay for car accident-related injuries.
I was injured while visiting from out-of-state. Where should I hire my lawyer?
Hiring a pedestrian accident lawyer is crucial because state law determines how accidents are compensated. Additionally, a personal injury lawyer knows the law better than out-of-state lawyers who partner with Nevada firms or get temporary permission to practice in-state. Finally, a Nevada personal injury lawyer can utilize local resources to build your case.
