Las Vegas Injury Blog | Nevada Injury Attorneys

Las Vegas is a city that’s filled with pedestrians.  Between the tourists who are here spending time downtown or on the Strip or local residents who are taking advantage of the cooler weather that exists during the morning hours, people can be seen everywhere walking around.  Unfortunately, this high number of pedestrians also leads to accidents, and unfortunately, a man was injured this morning when he was hit by a vehicle in Las Vegas.

According to police, the latest Las Vegas pedestrian accident occurred just before 8:30 a.m. when a 55-year-old man whose name has not yet been released attempted to cross the road near the intersection of West Bonanza Road and H Street.  He was hit in the process by a Nissan vehicle and suffered what was described as a serious head injury.  The man was rushed to University Medical Center for treatment.

More needs to be uncovered in terms of what actually happened before any determination can be made regarding fault.  However, if the man who was injured had the right-of-way and was in a crosswalk, it’s possible that he could have options that include the filing of a Nevada personal injury lawsuit.  If such a lawsuit was filed and was successful, it could bring damages that compensate him for medical costs, lost income and pain and suffering.
