We’re Here To Help
When an 18-wheeler or commercial truck is involved in a serious or fatal accident, it can quickly become far more complex than a typical car wreck. Nevada’s trucking laws and federal regulations add further challenges, involving driver schedules, cargo handling, and vehicle maintenance. Determining liability can be difficult, as responsibility may fall on the driver, trucking company, cargo loaders, or others — each with insurers aiming to limit payouts.
A skilled Nevada truck accident lawyer is essential to navigate these complexities and protect your rights. Connect with us today because you deserve What’s Right.
Filing A Claim After A Truck Accident
If you need to file a truck accident lawsuit, you typically must do so within two years from the accident date. In limited situations, you may have more time. If you’ve been in an accident, connect with us today, so we can explain what to expect, guide you through the legal process, and help you or your loved one get the compensation you deserve.
Truck Accidents Are More Dangerous
Truck accidents are different from regular car crashes because of the serious hazards these large trucks present:
- Tire blowouts — The weight and stress of a tractor-trailer can cause tires to fail, making it easy for the driver to lose control.
- Large blind spots — Truck drivers may not see nearby vehicles, increasing the risk of a collision.
- Rollover risk — Trucks have a high center of gravity and can tip over on curves, ramps, or in high winds.
- Underride accidents — Smaller vehicles can slide underneath a truck during a crash, often causing severe or fatal injuries. Rear guards help prevent this, but side underride accidents can still happen.
What To Do After
After a truck 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
Do not wait to get the legal advice you need. We can start investigating the accident, preserving evidence, and protecting you from day one.
Journal
Record detailed notes about how the accident occurred and track symptoms, treatments, and recollections related to your recovery process.
Limit Social Media
Refrain from posting about your incident—anything posted online could impact your claim.

Answering Your Questions
If the truck driver fell asleep and caused the accident, can I pursue a claim against the driver’s employer?
You often can. In many cases, an employer can be held liable for its employee’s negligence during the time that the employee is working in the course and scope of employment. The employer may also be held liable for negligence for failing to properly hire, train, and supervise the employee who caused the accident.
What should I do if an insurance adjuster contacts me?
If an insurance adjuster contacts you, refer them to your lawyer to handle any questions or discussions. Your lawyer knows how to handle truck accident cases and can communicate the detailed information that an insurance company needs as part of your truck accident claim.
Can I handle a truck accident claim without a lawyer?
While some people may try to handle a truck accident claim without a lawyer, it’s not a good idea if you are struggling to cope with injuries from the crash. A truck accident case can involve multiple insurers who each have lawyers of their own. When you have a lawyer on your side, you can rest assured that a professional is looking out for your best interests.
