Las Vegas Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
With 2.51 walkers per 100,000 residents killed in 2012, Las Vegas ranked 15th in pedestrian deaths. Motor vehicle accidents involving pedestrians can be particularly dangerous due to the lack of protection. A car weighs around 4,000 pounds whereas the average person weighs between 150 to 250 pounds.
When on the road, our Las Vegas pedestrian accident lawyers know that drivers have a responsibility to be aware of their surroundings. Unfortunately, distracted driving, drunk driving and speeding are factors often cited in accidents that involve pedestrians. We conduct an investigation to show how the driver’s actions led to your injury.
