Las Vegas Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer
Las Vegas Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer
In Nevada, almost a third of all car accident fatalities involve a drunk or impaired driver. Many non-fatal drunk driving accidents leave victims with chronic life-changing injuries. Those victims and their surviving family members have a right and opportunity to recover damages from the drunk driver and their insurance carriers. However, in almost every case, recovering the maximum amount of damages will require the services of experienced Las Vegas drunk driving accident lawyers.
The Las Vegas car accident lawyers at Valiente Mott help drunk driving accident victims to get the full compensation they need and deserve to recover from collisions caused by impaired motorists. We encourage all motorists to refrain from driving after consuming intoxicating substances—and we fight to hold impaired drivers accountable after they cause severe injuries.
What To Do After An Accident
What damages can an injured motorist collect after suffering injuries in a drunk driving accident?
Drivers who are negligent and the companies that insure them are liable to reimburse the victim’s economic and non-economic damages, including medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering. In addition, Nevada law allows an injured driver to collect punitive or exemplary damages from a drunk driver. The state has enacted this law to punish drivers who operate their vehicles while they are impaired.
To collect the largest compensatory and punitive damages awards in a Nevada car accident lawsuit, motorists injured in drunk driving accidents should retain lawyers who are thoroughly familiar with how this law supports a cause of action for punitive damages.
How can an accident victim show that a driver was driving under the influence of alcohol?
Evidence that authorities have collected will verify the impairment of the negligent driver. If officers at an accident scene suspect that a driver is impaired, they will conduct field sobriety tests and get a warrant for blood tests. Experienced DUI victim lawyers in Las Vegas will know how to request and use that and other evidence in a civil car accident case to show that the driver’s impairment was the catalyst for the accident.
