Types of Negligence that Lead to Car Accidents

Vehicles can collide under many different circumstances, and multiple factors may have contributed to your collision. One or more of the following circumstances may have contributed to your accident.

An Intoxicated or Drug-Impaired Driver

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) explains that drunk driving causes a significant number of deaths in Nevada each year. Drunk drivers may also cause serious injuries, and a drunk driver may have been responsible for causing your car accident or your loved one’s accident.

Drug impairment is also a hazard to your safety on the roads. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) explains that drug use may affect drivers by:

Increasing their aggressiveness
Making them less coordinated
Impairing their judgment
Slowing their reaction times
Making them more reckless

If alcohol or drugs were a factor in your accident, a lawyer can help you demonstrate evidence of the other driver’s negligence and seek compensation from the impaired driver.

An Aggressive Driver

Drivers do not have to be impaired in order to operate their vehicles dangerously. Aggressiveness can lead a driver to make many dangerous maneuvers, including:

Making a turn when they have little or no room to do so
Tailgating other vehicles
Speeding
Failing to stop for stop signs, yield signs, and red lights
Changing lanes when they do not have adequate space

Aggressive drivers put other motorists and vehicle occupants at risk. An aggressive driver may be the reason that you are injured or have lost a loved one.

A Vehicle Defect

Sometimes vehicles are the root cause of an accident. Blown tires, ineffective braking systems, and faulty straps for securing items to a vehicle are among the vehicle-related issues that may have caused your accident.

Motorists may be responsible for vehicle-related problems that cause or contribute to an accident. Other parties like vehicle and parts manufacturers could also be liable.

Your Crystal car accident lawyer will take a broad approach to find out why your accident happened and who is legally responsible for the losses from your accident. The team at High Stakes Injury Law will work to secure a just settlement for you or your loved one.

After a car accident, there is a chance that you or your loved one experienced any number of injuries. There is even a possibility that your loved one passed away because of their motor vehicle accident in Crystal.

Injuries and the loss of a loved one can cause serious problems. Those problems can be financial, physical, psychological, or of another nature. A Crystal car accident lawyer will identify, assign a monetary value to, and seek awards for all of the losses that have resulted from your car accident in Crystal.

Your Car Accident Could Have Caused You Serious Harm

Car accidents can cause serious harm, and you or your loved one may be living the harmful consequences of your Crystal car accident. Your losses could be both immediate and long-term, and your lawyer can seek compensation for both of these types of losses. Some of your losses may have been immediate and could include:

Pain and suffering and mental anguish (which you may have experienced in the past and could experience in the future)
The physical limitations of being injured
The time you miss from work because of your injuries
Damage to your vehicle

It may take time for some of your losses to become apparent. Some of the long-term consequences of your injuries could include:

Health problems that stem from your accident-related injuries
Long-term psychological issues
Long-term or permanent physical disability
Inability to work on a permanent basis

As the victim of a car accident, many of your losses may be recognized. You may be able to seek compensation for some or all of your accident-related losses, and your lawyer will work to pursue such compensation on your behalf.

Statute of Limitations in Nevada

Keep in mind that the state’s statute of limitations restricts the amount of time you have to file a personal injury lawsuit or wrongful death lawsuit. In Nevada, you have two years to do so, according to NRS §11.190(4)(e).

Why Hire a Lawyer?

You and your lawyer will strategize to figure out whether you should pursue an insurance claim or lawsuit. In cases where you have suffered a serious injury or lost a loved one, then a lawsuit could be the legal route that you choose to pursue.

The American Bar Association (ABA) explains that a civil case can require several formal parts. Your lawyer will handle all of the legal features of your case and typically will first try to seek compensation for you through a pre-trial settlement. Your lawyer will be your guide and legal defender throughout the duration of your case.

Some of the ways that your lawyer can serve you include:

Gathering and reviewing evidence related to your accident
Determining how much compensation you deserve to seek for your losses
Communicating with the other party’s attorney or insurance provider
Negotiating a settlement with the other party’s attorney or insurance provider
Defending your rights
