Walking is part of the Las Vegas experience, especially along the Strip, Downtown Las Vegas, Fremont Street, and surrounding hotel and entertainment districts.

Unfortunately, pedestrians are extremely vulnerable when struck by a vehicle.

If you were hit by a car, rideshare vehicle, taxi, truck, or other motorist while walking in Las Vegas, LACH Injury Law can help you understand your rights and potential injury claim.

Pedestrian Accidents on the Las Vegas Strip

The Strip combines heavy vehicle traffic with large numbers of pedestrians, tourists, rideshare pickups, parking structures, intersections, and hotel entrances.

Pedestrian accidents may happen:

  • In marked crosswalks
  • At intersections
  • Near casinos and resorts
  • In parking lots and garages
  • At rideshare pickup areas
  • Near valet entrances
  • Along hotel driveways
  • On side streets connecting to Las Vegas Boulevard
  • In Downtown Las Vegas

What Causes Pedestrian Accidents?

Potential causes can include:

  • Distracted driving
  • Speeding
  • Failure to yield
  • Unsafe turns
  • Impaired driving
  • Running traffic signals
  • Poor visibility
  • Driving too fast for conditions
  • Backing out without checking for pedestrians
  • Rideshare or taxi driver negligence

Each accident requires an investigation into the circumstances and available evidence.

Injuries in Pedestrian Accidents

Because pedestrians have little physical protection, injuries can be severe.

They may include:

  • Head injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Broken bones
  • Spinal injuries
  • Internal injuries
  • Road rash
  • Soft-tissue injuries
  • Permanent impairment

If you suffered a head injury, learn more from a Las Vegas Brain Injury Attorney.

What to Do After a Pedestrian Accident

If possible:

  • Call law enforcement
  • Seek medical treatment
  • Photograph the scene
  • Get the driver’s insurance information
  • Obtain witness contact information
  • Photograph traffic signals and crosswalk markings
  • Keep medical records and bills
  • Avoid giving a recorded insurance statement before understanding your rights

Evidence can disappear quickly, especially in heavily traveled tourist areas.

Injured While Visiting Las Vegas?

You do not need to live in Nevada to be injured here.

Visitors who are hurt while traveling in Las Vegas may still be able to pursue claims arising from accidents that occurred in Nevada.

LACH Injury Law can help explain the process and what may be required if you live in another state.
