Pacific West did an amazing job handling our case. There were some slight communication issues during the first half of our case, but those would eventually be resolved. They were consistently working to provide the most that they could for me as a client. I am very pleased with how they've handled my case. I would strongly recommend Pacific West.

This firm worked really hard to get me the settlement deserved after being rear ended. While I wish communication was more frequent, there wasn't a doubt in my mind that they were working non stop to do what was best for my case. Anytime I had questions or needed guidance, there was always clarity. Definitely recommend Pacific West.

Common Causes of Car Accidents in Las Vegas

According to the Nevada Department of Transportation, from 2015 to 2017, Las Vegas saw 107,661 car crashes resulting in 63,156 injuries. Several factors contribute to the high accident rate in this bustling city. Here are the most common causes our law firm handles:

Speeding remains one of the deadliest driving behaviors in Las Vegas. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that speeding has contributed to approximately one-third of all car accident fatalities for over two decades.

When drivers exceed posted speed limits on Las Vegas roads, they:

  • Drastically reduce their reaction time to unexpected hazards
  • Diminish their ability to navigate curves and turns safely
  • Increase stopping distance significantly
  • Amplify the force of impact in crashes, leading to more severe injuries

Our firm has extensive experience representing victims of speed-related accidents throughout Clark County.

Reckless driving encompasses dangerous behaviors that demonstrate disregard for safety. In Las Vegas, we frequently see accidents caused by drivers who:

  • Run red lights or stop signs at busy intersections
  • Fail to use turn signals when changing lanes on the Strip
  • Make illegal turns, particularly U-turns in prohibited areas
  • Brake suddenly without cause, especially in heavy tourist traffic

These negligent actions put everyone at risk on Las Vegas roads. Our attorneys have successfully recovered compensation for countless victims of reckless driving incidents.

Las Vegas's reputation as an entertainment capital unfortunately contributes to a high rate of impaired driving. The NHTSA found that alcohol-impaired drivers were involved in approximately 28% of all crash-related fatalities nationwide in 2018.

Nevada law strictly prohibits:

  • Driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) exceeding 0.08% for most drivers
  • Operating a vehicle with a BAC above 0.02% for drivers under 21
  • Commercial drivers operating with a BAC higher than 0.04%

Our experienced legal team has a proven track record of holding intoxicated drivers accountable and securing maximum compensation for victims of DUI accidents in Las Vegas.

Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of automobile accidents in Las Vegas and throughout the United States. All too often, drivers engage in other activities while behind the wheel, diverting their attention from the critical task of operating their vehicle safely.

Common forms of distraction include:

  • Texting or using a cellphone while driving
  • Operating GPS or navigation systems
  • Engaging in conversations with passengers
  • Eating or drinking while driving
  • Attending to children or pets in the vehicle

These distractions significantly impair a driver's ability to react to road conditions, increasing the risk of serious collisions. Our attorneys have extensive experience proving negligence in cases involving distracted drivers.

Driving while overly tired or falling asleep at the wheel is a serious hazard, particularly with tractor-trailers and commercial trucks. A driver who operates a vehicle while excessively fatigued risks falling asleep behind the wheel, endangering the lives of everyone sharing the roadway.

Fatigue-related accidents are more common at night but occur during daylight hours as well. Las Vegas's 24/7 culture creates unique risks with:

  • Service industry workers commuting after late-night shifts
  • Tourists driving after extended periods without sleep
  • Commercial drivers exceeding safe operating hours

Our attorneys understand the complexities of proving driver fatigue and have successfully established negligence in numerous such cases.

Call 911 to report the accident and seek medical attention, even if injuries appear minor. Exchange information with the other driver(s), take photos of the scene, gather witness contact info, and avoid admitting fault. Contact a car accident attorney as soon as possible to protect your legal rights.

Yes. In Nevada, you are legally required to report any accident involving injury, death, or significant property damage. A police report provides critical documentation that can support your insurance claim or lawsuit.

If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, you may still be able to recover damages through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. An attorney can help you explore all available options for compensation.

You have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, it’s important to act quickly to preserve evidence, build your case, and avoid missing key deadlines.

Yes. Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule. As long as you are less than 50% at fault, you can still recover compensation—though your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

You may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses

  • Lost income

  • Pain and suffering

  • Property damage

  • Future medical care

  • Emotional distress
    An experienced car accident lawyer can help calculate the full value of your claim.

At Pacific West Injury Law, we work on a contingency fee basis—meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case. We also offer free consultations 24/7 to help you understand your options without any upfront costs.

Under Nevada law, you typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim. However, different circumstances may affect this timeline, so it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.

Absolutely. Car accident cases can be complex, and having an experienced attorney ensures that your rights are protected and that you receive the full compensation you deserve.

We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you won’t pay any fees unless we win your case. Our consultation is free, and we’re committed to fighting for you without upfront costs.

  • As a service to our clients, we will work to collect evidence of your damages and assign a monetary value to your case to use in settlement negotiations or if your case goes to trial. With more evidence, we can build a stronger case to recover the compensation you deserve. This includes medical bills, documents from your employer, receipts of any additional expenses, surveillance videos, police reports, witness testimonies, and statements from medical, vocational, or economic experts.

Most car accident cases are settled out of court. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial to secure the compensation you deserve.

  • While there may be more you’re eligible for in personal injury cases, you can be reimbursed for any, if not all, of the following:
  • Hospital bills from your injuries
  • The estimated future costs of all medical care
  • Property damage, such as car repair or replacement costs after an auto accident
  • Lost wages for the time you were not at work and were recovering
  • Reduced earning capacity if your ability to earn has been permanently diminished
  • Pain and suffering, both mentally and emotionally
  • Additional compensation for becoming disabled
  • Funeral and burial costs in wrongful death claims

  • You may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim on behalf of your loved one who passed away. Common instances of these cases are: the defendant is driving while intoxicated and hits your family members’ car, resulting in their death, or a family member slips or trips and falls at a business due to the negligence of the business owner and is severely injured and passes away a week later.
  • Our goal in legal action for these cases would be to collect compensation for your family to cover the funeral and burial costs, medical bills, the deceased’s lost wages, and more. The defendant may also be facing criminal charges.

Client stories

JURY TRIAL VERDICT: ATTORNEY KIRILL MIKHAYLOV

Our 62-year-old client was on his motorcycle pulling out of a shopping parking lot behind the Defendant, waiting to pull out onto the street. The defendant began to pull out and realized that there was oncoming traffic, so he reversed and knocked our client off his motorcycle. The property damage was minor. Defense characterized the case as a minor impact parking lot case.

The Jury deliberated for 45 minutes.

The jury awarded past medicals of $207,482.15, past pain and suffering of $300,000, and future pain and suffering of $800,000.

JURY TRIAL VERDICT: ATTORNEY BOHDEN COLE

Attorney Bohden Cole obtained a $27,516.66 jury verdict. It was a one-day trial. No offers were made before the trial.

Our client was traveling southbound on the 215 freeway during stop-and-go morning traffic. The at-fault driver carelessly changed lanes, causing a rear-end collision. The insurance company refused to tender their $25,000.00 insurance policy, stating the claim was worth less than the full policy limit. The jury felt otherwise and awarded the Plaintiff above the policy limit.

The Jury deliberated for 115 minutes.
