Auto Accidents in Nevada
Car crashes are the primary contributors to death and serious injury of Nevada residents. A report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that Nevada ranked on the top ten list of worst drivers in the country. Las Vegas drivers are particularly known for their recklessness on the roads, and speeding, intoxication, and driver distraction are significant issues in the city. Hundreds lose their lives in vehicle collisions across the state each year, with more than 12,000 car accidents taking place in Las Vegas each year.
Pursuing deserved compensation can be difficult after being injured in a car accident, and crash victims who negotiate with the insurance company may find themselves in a difficult situation. Despite what they may say, the insurance company wants to make you accept the lowest settlement possible, and that means minimizing your compensation following a car crash. Medical bills, missed work, and emotional suffering all add up quickly, and crash victims are entitled to recover compensation by pursuing a personal injury claim. If you have been injured in a serious Las Vegas car crash, you need to contact a qualified Nevada car accident lawyer immediately.
The Richard Harris Law Firm is here to ensure your personal injury claim is handled effectively and fairly. Our team of Las Vegas personal injury attorneys has provided legal representation for countless clients, and we always ensure that our clients’ legal rights are protected after being unfairly injured in a Nevada car accident.

The collision was brought to the attention of local law enforcement officers at about 6:00 p.m. At least two of the vehicle occupants sustained injuries during the accident. 911 dispatch initially received word that there were three victims, all from inside the vehicle
First responders attending the scene found two of the injured victims outside of the vehicle, with the third unresponsive victim still inside.
The critically injured victim was taken by ambulance to the Carson City Department of Motor Vehicles off of Stewart Street. They were then airlifted to the trauma wing of the Renown Medical Center in Reno.
Officials suggested that the rollover may have taken place from a nearby hill that faces westward where the vehicle occupants were most likely engaging in off-road recreation.
Emergency medical personnel at the scene of the crash indicated that upon their arrival they found one of the victims to be unresponsive but they were breathing.
Officials called for a Care Flight air ambulance to transport the victim to an area trauma center for emergency medical treatment of crash-related injuries.
Crash investigators are working to determine the cause of this collision.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.

Read moreReno, NV (August 13, 2020) – Officers from the Reno Police Department have revealed new information pertaining to a car accident that took place at the intersection of Whitfield Way and Wedekind Road on the afternoon of Monday, August 10th.
According to a story published by a local news source, various emergency response agencies were dispatched to the scene of the accident. On their arrival, they learned that the driver of one of the cars involved in the collision trapped inside their vehicle and would require immediate extrication.
Crash investigators with the Reno Police Department stated that police officers on the scene discovered that, for reasons that have yet to be determined, a sedan that was traveling eastbound along Wedekind Road suddenly swerved over the centerline, and collided with a minivan that was heading in the opposite direction.
All three of the sedan’s occupants were transported via ambulance to Renown Health and Hospital Network with injuries that were classified as life-threatening.
The driver of the minivan was also transported to Renown Health and Hospital Network in an ambulance with injuries that were classified as minor.
Officials stated that the Major Accident Investigation Team also reported to the crash site to conduct a professional inquiry into cause and liability for the accident. Local law enforcement has stated that speed played a role in the critical accident but it is unclear at this time if driver impairment was also a factor.
The portion of Wedekind Road between Whitfield Way and Clear Acre Lane was closed off for quite a few hours but fully reopened to traffic at about 10:00 p.m.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.

Las Vegas, NV – Four Killed Including Child, Dog in Fiery Wreck on I-15

Read moreLas Vegas, NV (August 13, 2020) – Two adults, a young child, and a family pet were killed during a fiery multi-car collision between an off-roading vehicle, a sedan, and a Ford pick-up truck that took place on the morning of Thursday, August 13th.
As stated by officers from the Nevada Highway Patrol, at approximately 11:15 a.m., a Ford pick-up truck that was pulling an off-road vehicle along the northbound lanes of Interstate 15 was on its way to the northbound exit ramp for Interstate 95 when a sedan also heading northbound along Interstate 15 attempted a dangerous lane change.
The failed lane change caused the sedan to strike a roadside crash attenuator before colliding with the Ford pick-up. The force of the high-speed impact then prompted both the vehicles to crash into the barrier wall on the righthand side of the interstate before both going over the side and becoming totally engulfed in flames.
Eyewitnesses to the atrocity informed police officers that the sedan was driving dangerously when the collision occurred, stating that the driver was weaving back and forth across the solid white lines just moments prior to impact.
The occupants of the pick-up truck, a man and his 4-year-old little girl, were still inside the truck as it dangled over the railing. The man was able to get out of the vehicle and successfully extricate his daughter moments before the truck went up in flames. Both the man and his daughter reportedly sustained only minor injuries, if any.
The truck then went over the railing, landing on top of the sedan, killing the driver. The off-roading vehicle became detached from the trailer and was hit by a passing pick-up truck on the interstate.
One of the vehicles struck a power pole at the scene of the accident, causing live wires to be exposed and creating an environment in which it was dangerous for emergency responders to attempt to reach any of the vehicles until the electricity was able to be turned off.
Emergency responders then had to disentangle the sedan which was fully pinned underneath of the Ford. Once they were finally able to separate the two vehicles, they discovered four bodies inside of the sedan. Officials said that two of the deceased occupants appeared to be adults, one was a child, and the fourth fatality was a dog that was also found inside the car.
An official from the Nevada Highway Patrol stated that the VIN number, the license plates, and everything else inside the car had been completely torched. As a result, the identities of the deceased victims are currently unknown.
We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victims at this time. Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families in hopes of a full recovery.
