With so much to see and do, such a large number of people in one area, and new roads and communities popping up around every turn, it’s no surprise that Las Vegas is filled with accident and injury risks. If you have been injured through no fault of your own, a skilled Las Vegas personal injury lawyer could help you hold the negligent party responsible.
Between 2012 and 2016, about 353 pedestrians were killed and another 720 were severely injured in Nevada, and 57 of those deaths happened in the Las Vegas Valley in 2016 alone. Unfortunately, pedestrian fatalities continue to rise. 2017 was the deadliest year for pedestrians in the metropolitan area, with 78 people losing their lives after getting struck by motorists. Pedestrian deaths accounted for 38% of traffic-related fatalities in Clark County that year.
About 65% of impaired driving fatalities and severe injuries happened in Clark County and the Las Vegas Valley between 2012 and 2016. Most of the serious accidents occurred on urban roadways. Although the city continues to work to reduce impaired driving fatalities and serious injury crashes in Las Vegas, drugged and intoxicated drivers still pose a significant risk for people in Sin City.
Dangerous conditions at Las Vegas hotels, casinos, and resorts are a common occurrence. In 2016 alone, there were more than 48 million occupied hotel nights in Las Vegas. Although hotels in Nevada have a duty to ensure that their properties are safe for guests, negligent security, slips and falls, and poorly maintained furnishings injure countless visitors every year.
With so many potential hazards and risks of injury, a Las Vegas personal injury lawyer from our firm could be essential in helping victims seek justice and compensation. Call today and schedule a consultation to learn about your options.
