Nevada Distracted Driving Accidents
According to the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles, cell phone use isn’t the only factor in distracted driving crashes. Eating, drinking, talking to other passengers, grooming, or even adjusting the music can significantly increase the odds of an accident.
Nevada statute 484B.165 bans handheld wireless communications devices, including cell phones, to text, send, read messages, or communicate while driving. It is illegal to surf the web, send or receive texts, or use any handheld electronic device when behind the wheel.
More than half of Nevada’s fatal distracted driving accidents occur in urban areas, and Clark County leads the state in the highest number of fatalities. From 2014 to 2018, males aged 26-30 accounted for the largest percentage of at-fault drivers in distracted driving accidents resulting in deaths.
Our Nevada car accident lawyers understand the physical, emotional, and financial ramifications of these largely preventable crashes. Our goal is to protect your interests and pursue justice on your behalf, whether the collision occurred in Las Vegas, Reno, Paradise, or Henderson. When you hire a distracted driving attorney at our firm, you align yourself with a staunch advocate who works tirelessly to secure the best results, while making our communities safer, one legal victory at a time.
Las Vegas & Distracted Driving Accidents
Most personal injury claims in Las Vegas– including those arising from texting and driving– are settled out of court. But a successful settlement hinges on the expertise and legal savvy of your distracted driving car accident lawyer.
Your Las Vegas auto accident attorney must prove that the other motorist was negligent and at fault for your injuries and damages. This entails extensive investigations and the collection of compelling evidence that demonstrates the other driver was visually or cognitively distracted at the time of the wreck.
As your dedicated legal counsel, Valiente Motte will gather cell phone records, available traffic surveillance footage, as well as police and witness reports. We have the resources to hire accident reconstruction specialists and are skilled at negotiating with insurance companies. Our office in Las Vegas is located at 7785 W. Sahara Ave., Ste. 102.
Exercising Caution & What To Do After Being Hit By A Distracted Driver
Drivers have a legal obligation to exercise caution on the roads, but distracted driving injuries and fatalities continue to increase despite cell phone use laws. In Las Vegas, offenders are cited every day for texting, making calls, or using social media while driving a vehicle.
After being hit by a distracted motorist, take the following steps to protect your rights.
- Check yourself and passengers for injuries and call 911
- Get the name, contact, license plate number, and insurance information from the other driver(s)
- Seek medical attention, even if there are no outward signs of injury
- Obtain a copy of the police accident report
- If possible, take pictures of the crash scene and damage to all vehicles
- Get the names and contacts of any witnesses
- Do not apologize or admit fault
- Enlist the help of a capable attorney
- Refrain from posting on social media until the claim is resolved
Valiente Mott is proud to serve clients in Las Vegas, NV, and the surrounding communities. Focus on your recovery and health after a distracted driving accident and let us handle the claims process.
Laws Prohibiting Cell Phone Use While Driving
Many laws expressly prohibits the use of a cell phone or handheld electronic device while operating a moving motor vehicle to:
- Go on the internet
- Write, send, or receive emails or text messages
- Dial a phone number
- Use instant messaging services
- Watch or record videos
- Enter or receive data on a wireless communication device
On average, more than 5,000 distracted driving accidents occur in Utah every year. Despite strict legislation, drivers continue to text, use FaceTime and reply to messages while behind the wheel.Texting and driving have been proven to be six times more hazardous than operating a vehicle while drunk, yet people cannot seem to turn off their cell phones– no matter the consequences.
As experienced Vegas car accident lawyers, we know the impact an unexpected wreck can have on victims’ lives. If you ever need effective legal counsel in Las Vegas, you can count on the law firm of Valiente Mott.
Avoiding Distracted Driving Accidents
Car accidents caused by distracted driving are entirely avoidable. Unsurprisingly, half of the distracted driving crashes in Las Vegas are rear-end collisions. While the common assumption is that teenagers are the most culpable, data indicates that distraction rates are highest among 20 to 29-year-olds.
If you or a family member were harmed because of a distracted driver, you might be eligible to seek financial reparations for:
- Lost wages and benefits
- Medical and hospital expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Out-of-pocket costs related to your injuries
