Fatal Pedestrian Accidents in Nevada

Pedestrian crashes can have a life-changing impact on victims and their families. Unfortunately, these incidents claim the lives of countless victims in Las Vegas and throughout Clark County each year. People who are involved in pedestrian crashes are at an enormous disadvantage due to the fact that they are unprotected against the impact of vehicles, which often weigh several thousands of pounds.

When victims lose their lives in pedestrian crashes, surviving family members are often left to cover burial expenses, pay tens of thousands of dollars on funeral costs, and deal with lost wages, and the overwhelming mental and emotional pain and suffering they bring.
