Car Accidents in Nevada

Although the majority of motor vehicle crashes in our state and in minor injuries for those involved, we see a significant number of victims hospitalized with catastrophic and life-threatening injuries year after year. More than 60,000 people are hospitalized every year following motor vehicle accidents in the state of Nevada. . In many instances, victims sustain severe and life-threatening injuries that negatively impact their ability to work and enjoy life. Many victims sustain injuries like traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and internal organ damage. These and other treatments are not only costly, but they come with no guarantee of a full recovery.
