    Building Your Case for Compensation

    When you work with our pedestrian accident attorneys, we have a specialized process in place for successfully building your case for compensation. We take calculated steps to use the legal discovery system to your advantage to build strong evidence to show the other side why you deserve the compensation you are asking for. First, your injury attorney works with you to gather all the facts surrounding the incident, including the initial police or injury report. If possible, they may also investigate the actual scene of the accident. Next, we utilize our extensive network of specialists, including accident reconstruction experts, medical specialists, and forensic specialists to help us use the facts of your accident to prove your claim.

    We may also work with your doctor to identify your prognosis and a complete care plan for recovery. Throughout your case, we file essential legal documents, including the initial complaint, a summons, and motions if necessary. Our attorneys also work to diligently and accurately value your claim. Valuing your case is a crucial part of getting the full amount of compensation you are owed, so we make sure to include all categories of damages possible, including both economic and non-economic damages like pain and suffering and emotional distress. While we are building your case, we also participate in negotiations with the other side in hopes of getting you a settlement before trial.

        Pedestrian Accident Lawsuit – Frequently Asked Questions

        When a pedestrian is hit by a car, the driver must stop their vehicle. They must render medical aid or arrange for medical assistance to help the injured person. Also, they must provide the pedestrian with their driver’s license and vehicle information. When a pedestrian is hit by a car, the police may respond to the scene and prepare an accident report. The victim may be entitled to financial compensation. However, they must take steps to file a claim for compensation.

        What happens if you get hit in a crosswalk is that the parties should call the police. In fact, the driver must call law enforcement. The police may respond and investigate, just like they would investigate any accident involving multiple parties. The police will work to determine who had the right of way and whether the victim was lawfully in the crosswalk. The vehicle driver may owe the victim financial compensation. The amount that the victim may receive in compensation depends on their injuries and their other losses.

        Nevada pedestrian accident laws are found in NRS 11.190 and Nevada negligence liability. The laws state that the driver is responsible for injuries to the victim if the accident results from the negligent actions of the driver. In other words, if the accident is the driver’s fault, they owe the victim damages for their losses. Nevada is an at-fault state, so there is no minimum amount of damages or injuries that apply in Nevada pedestrian accident laws.

        Yes, comparative negligence applies to pedestrian accidents in Nevada. If the pedestrian has some level of blame for the accident, their recovery may be reduced. However, it may not be completely barred. The victim may still recover something. Speak to an attorney for pedestrian accidents to understand how comparative negligence may apply and how to fight back against false allegations of comparative negligence.

        Yes, there is a two-year statute of limitations for Nevada pedestrian accident claims. That means, in most cases, you have to begin your claim within two years of when the accident occurs. Telling the insurance company about the accident isn’t enough. You must formally file a complaint in order to beat the deadline.

        Adam Kutner Reviews & Testimonials

        “I was at a stoplight and I heard some screeching and I looked in my rear-view mirror and I saw a truck go around me real quick, but the car behind him didn’t have a chance and hit me. A friend of mine told me about Adam Kutner and so I went in to see them and it was very, very pleasant under the circumstances and they handled everything, and I wasn’t worried about anything, it was great. The first thing they did was they helped me find a chiropractor and I went a few months and I feel better now. I was really happy with my settlement, in my opinion he is the best lawyer in as Vegas.”
