If the motorist who hit you decides to flee the scene of the accident, or you are rushed from the scene with a medical emergency after your accident, your mind could be flooded with questions and concerns about holding the reckless driver accountable and obtaining financial restitution for your harms and losses.
Do not fret. Our team of skilled Las Vegas pedestrian accident lawyers will take the lead in thoroughly investigating your accident, including potentially retaining the services of an accident reconstructionist. We will also work diligently to try and identify the motorist who fled the scene of the collision. Leaving the scene of an accident is against the law.
In fact, when anyone is injured in a Las Vegas automobile accident, there is a legal duty codified in Nevada Revised Statute 484E.030 that requires the motorist to render reasonable assistance to the injured party (e.g., notifying police, calling an ambulance, etc.) When a motorist ignores this legal duty and flees the scene, it could lead to misdemeanor or felony criminal charges, along with establishing a fairly clear case of liability for your pedestrian accident claim.
