(702) 633-3333 Free consultation · Available 24/7 Or send us the details onlineWhat's the definition of a head-on collision?
When two vehicles, moving in opposite directions, crash front-end to front-end, it’s termed as a head-on collision.
How does a head-on collision differ from other vehicular accidents?
While vehicular accident laws are standard, head-on collisions, given their severity, often involve intricate legal nuances and potentially larger claims.
What typically causes head-on collisions?
Factors span from distracted driving and DUI to overtaking errors and drowsiness.
Post-accident, what should be my immediate steps?
Prioritize safety, call 911, document the scene, secure witness contacts, and soon after, reach out to us for legal guidance.
I feel alright post-collision; should I still consult a doctor?
Definitely. Some injuries manifest slowly. A comprehensive check-up ensures no lurking ailments.
How is fault determined in such accidents?
Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence system (NRS 41.141): you can still recover as long as your negligence was not greater than the negligence of the defendant, or the combined negligence of the defendants you are suing, and any damages awarded are reduced in proportion to your share of the fault. Evidence, eyewitness accounts, and expert analysis determine those fault percentages.
Why should I opt for a local lawyer like Jack Bernstein Injury Lawyers?
Jack Bernstein has over 40 years of experience as a personal injury attorney, and the firm works in the Las Vegas area every day, so it knows the local courts, the insurers who handle claims here, and the practical steps a case involves. A local office is also easier to reach while your claim is going on.
What compensation can I anticipate?
Depending on the gravity, claims can span medical costs, wage loss, emotional distress, and property damages. What a claim is worth cannot be stated in advance, and no reliable range exists for a case nobody has evaluated. It turns on how severe and lasting the injuries are, the treatment and future care needed, lost earnings and earning capacity, who was at fault and any share of the fault assigned to you (NRS 41.141), how much insurance is available to pay, and how the evidence holds up.
Is there a stipulated timeframe to file a lawsuit?
Typically, you have a two-year window for an injury claim (NRS 11.190(4)(e)). Different deadlines and exceptions can apply, including that the period does not run while the injured person was under 18 or insane when the claim accrued (NRS 11.250), and that a tort claim against the State or a political subdivision must also be filed with the Attorney General or that governing body within two years after the cause of action accrues, though that filing is not a condition precedent to suing (NRS 41.036), so do not assume an exception applies to you. Reaching out to us promptly can expedite processes.
What if the guilty driver is uninsured or absconds?
Most insurance covers include an uninsured/underinsured provision. If confronted with such a situation, we guide you on the best legal pathways.
