What Causes Car Accidents in Las Vegas?
No matter the type of motor vehicle accident, the root cause is often negligence or carelessness on the part of one or more drivers, including:
- Distracted driving. Texting, talking on the phone, eating, or adjusting the radio while driving, can cause a driver to lose focus and cause an accident. Our attorneys understand how to prove fault in these cases and seek maximum compensation for your losses.
- Speeding. Exceeding the speed limit or driving too fast for weather or road conditions can result in serious accidents. Our attorneys will investigate all factors involved in the accident to determine if speeding played a role and will fight aggressively to hold the responsible driver accountable.
- Reckless driving. Dangerous behaviors such as tailgating, aggressive lane changes, and running red lights can lead to catastrophic accidents. Our team is experienced in handling reckless driving cases and will work tirelessly to secure fair compensation for all damages.
- Driving under the influence. Operating a vehicle while intoxicated is not only illegal but also incredibly dangerous. Our attorneys have a deep understanding of DUI laws and how to hold impaired drivers accountable for any accidents they cause.
Vehicle malfunctions. Sometimes, accidents are caused by vehicle malfunctions, such as tire blowouts or brake failures. Our team will thoroughly investigate all possible causes of the accident, including any potential vehicle defects, to determine liability and fight for fair compensation.
You should never assume you are the cause of a car crash. Let a Las Vegas car accident lawyer from High Stakes Injury Law work to prove who is actually at fault so that you can recover maximum compensation for accident injuries and losses.
Where Do Car Accidents Happen in Las Vegas?
Intersections
Driver confusion, distractions, and failure to follow traffic signals can all contribute to intersection accidents.
The most common intersections for car crashes in Las Vegas include:
- Sahara Avenue and Valley View Boulevard
- Charleston Boulevard and Nellis Boulevard
- Tropicana Avenue and Paradise Boulevard
- Flamingo Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard
- Charleston Boulevard and Decatur Boulevard
These intersections regularly see heavy traffic and, unfortunately, have a high rate of rear-end, side-impact, and pedestrian accidents.
Highways
Consistently flooded with commuter, trucking, and tourist traffic, Las Vegas highways are often the site of catastrophic car collisions.
The most dangerous highways in and around Las Vegas include:
- I-15, especially near Sahara Avenue and Flamingo Road
- U.S. 95, particularly near Summerlin Parkway and Main Street
- The 215 Beltway in Henderson and Summerlin
These highways have high speed limits and heavy traffic flow, making them prone to severe rollovers and multi-vehicle accidents.
Tourist Areas
The Las Vegas Strip and surrounding tourist areas attract millions of visitors each year, leading to many car accidents.
With crowded streets, aggressive drivers, and distracted pedestrians, some common areas for accidents include:
- Las Vegas Boulevard between Sahara Avenue and Tropicana Avenue
- Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas
- Major hotel valet areas such as Caesars Palace or the Bellagio
These areas are notorious for fender benders, pedestrian collisions, and crashes due to congestion and driver distractions
Parking Lots
In a city with such heavy traffic, parking lots and garages can be just as dangerous as the roads.
Poorly marked lanes, careless drivers, and limited visibility can all lead to accidents in parking structures at popular locations like:
- The Fashion Show Mall
- The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace
- McCarran International Airport
Accidents in parking lots may seem minor, but they can still result in significant damage and injury, especially when distracted, intoxicated, or reckless drivers are behind the wheel.
City Streets
While not as heavily traveled as highways or tourist areas, city streets in Las Vegas still see their fair share of car accidents.
The roads with the most frequent rates of collisions in Las Vegas include:
- Flamingo Road, particularly near Maryland Parkway and Fort Apache Road
- Sahara Avenue between Eastern Avenue and Rainbow Boulevard
- Charleston Boulevard from Las Vegas Boulevard to the 215 Beltway
Accidents on these streets often involve speeding, distracted driving, and failure to follow traffic signals or laws.
Residential Neighborhoods
Tourists may forget that Las Vegas is more than just the Strip and downtown area, but many call this bustling city home. Unfortunately, residential neighborhoods are not immune to accidents either.
The most common residential areas for accidents include:
- Summerlin, particularly on roads such as Town Center Drive and Charleston Boulevard
- Henderson, with frequent crashes on Green Valley Parkway and Sunset Road
- North Las Vegas suburbs like Aliante Parkway and Centennial Parkway
Accidents in these areas can be caused by many factors, including speeding, distracted driving, and failure to yield at stop signs or crosswalks.
