Pedestrian Accidents in Nevada
Victims of pedestrian-related accidents frequently suffer serious and even life-changing injuries. These accidents can be catastrophic, and in large cities across Nevada, drivers often fail to pay attention to their surroundings, which increases the risk of a major pedestrian accident. The state of Nevada has a poor history of pedestrian safety. Over 24 percent of road fatalities in the state involve pedestrians, with most of these collisions taking place in cities, according to the most recent crash statistics. If you or someone close to you suffers a significant injury in a pedestrian crash you should take immediate action by consulting with a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer to pursue a personal injury claim.
If you or a loved one is injured as a pedestrian, there is a high chance of serious injuries.

It is well known that pedestrian accidents can result in high medical costs and other losses that you might not be able to bear on your own.
