Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Spring Valley
Pedestrian accidents often occur because of driver negligence. Common causes include:
- Failure to yield at crosswalks
- Distracted driving, such as texting or using a GPS
- Speeding in residential areas or near schools
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Unsafe left turns at intersections
- Backing up without checking in parking lots or driveways
Poor lighting, lack of proper signage, and inadequate crosswalk markings can also contribute to collisions with pedestrians.
Nevada Pedestrian Right-of-Way Laws
Under NRS 484B.287, drivers must yield to pedestrians in marked and unmarked crosswalks. Key points include:
- Drivers must stop or slow down when a pedestrian is crossing in their lane or approaching from the opposite side.
- Pedestrians must obey traffic control signals but still have the right-of-way in crosswalks when given the signal to walk.
- NRS 484B.280 requires drivers to exercise due care to avoid collisions with pedestrians, even outside of crosswalks.
If a driver violates these laws and causes an accident, they may be held liable for the pedestrian’s injuries.
Why Hiring a Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Is Critical
Insurance companies often try to shift blame to the pedestrian or downplay the severity of injuries. An experienced attorney can:
- Investigate the accident scene and gather crucial evidence.
- Obtain surveillance footage, witness statements, and police reports.
- Work with accident reconstruction and medical experts.
- Handle all negotiations with insurers.
- Take the case to trial if a fair settlement is not offered.
Representation ensures your rights are protected and significantly increases your chances of securing full compensation.
