Deadly Pedestrian Accidents in Nevada
Pedestrian collisions can be quite serious, and sadly, it is common for victims of these accidents to sustain fatal injuries. In large cities across Nevada, drivers frequently disregard their surroundings, resulting in potentially life-threatening pedestrian accidents. Nevada has a poor track record with pedestrian safety. Statistics show that pedestrians are involved in nearly 24 percent of traffic fatalities in the state, with the majority of these accidents taking place in urban areas. If someone close to you is killed unexpectedly in a pedestrian crash, you must take action by partnering with a skilled personal injury lawyer.
The loss of a loved one is always difficult. Families often find it hard to act as they process their grief. It is even harder when you know that someone else's reckless actions contributed to the crash. After a fatal accident, you need to make sure that you have support during this difficult time. The at-fault party must be held responsible for their actions, and this is often only possible by pursuing a wrongful death claim. Even though nothing can ever bring back a loved one who has passed away, the money you can get by filing a wrongful death lawsuit can support your surviving family members. Make sure you are able to speak with an experienced lawyer about your case so you are fully aware of your legal rights.
