Deadly Pedestrian Accidents in Nevada
In Nevada, pedestrian safety is a major problem. Recent four-year research found that 387 people died as a result of 376 pedestrian crashes in the state. Pedestrians frequently have to share the road with careless drivers when crossing city streets. This may be the reason that cities account for more than 90 percent of pedestrian fatalities. With the greatest yearly number of pedestrian fatalities in Nevada, Clark County remains a prominent player in pedestrian crashes across the whole state. Managing a fatal crash by yourself is difficult. If you work closely with a competent attorney, you might be able to file a wrongful death claim and collect lost compensation.
Managing the aftermath of a pedestrian collision by yourself is never simple. Pedestrian accidents are known to result in significant injuries and substantial financial losses, and pedestrians nearly always suffer the most from crashes because there is virtually nothing protecting them from the full force of the impact. If a loved one dies in a pedestrian accident, you should speak with a knowledgeable lawyer as soon as possible to determine whether you have grounds for a wrongful death claim. You don't want to leave your claim up to chance during this important time.
