Where Henderson Crashes Happen
Henderson is Nevada's second-largest city, and its busiest roads carry commuters, tourists and heavy trucks every day. We regularly see crashes on and near:
- I-11 / US-95 and the 215 Beltway interchanges
- St. Rose Parkway, Eastern Avenue and Green Valley Parkway
- Sunset Road, Warm Springs Road and Stephanie Street near the Galleria
- Lake Mead Parkway and Boulder Highway
Rear-end collisions, left-turn crashes at busy intersections, distracted driving and speeding are the most common causes.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Henderson
- Call 911 and get medical care, even if you feel fine. Some injuries show up days later.
- Ask for a police report. Henderson Police handle most city crashes; the Nevada Highway Patrol handles many freeway crashes.
- Take photos of the vehicles, the scene, traffic signals and your injuries.
- Get the other driver's insurance information and the names of any witnesses.
- Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurer before you talk to a lawyer.
Who Pays for Your Injuries?
Nevada is an at-fault state, so the driver who caused the crash, and their insurer, are responsible for your losses. Nevada requires drivers to carry at least $25,000 per person in bodily injury coverage, which often is not enough for a serious injury. When that happens, we look for other sources, such as your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage or an employer if the driver was working.
Nevada also follows modified comparative negligence (NRS 41.141). You can still recover if you were partly at fault, as long as you were not more at fault than the other side, but your award is reduced by your share of fault. Insurers often try to shift blame for this reason, which is why evidence matters.
Compensation You May Recover
- Medical bills, now and in the future
- Lost wages and reduced earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Vehicle repair or replacement
Don't Wait Too Long
In most cases, Nevada gives you two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit (NRS 11.190). Evidence such as video and witness memories fades much sooner, so it helps to call early.
