STRUCK BY A VEHICLE? — LAS VEGAS, NV
PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTATTORNEY LAS VEGAS
Las Vegas is consistently ranked among the deadliest metro areas in America for people on foot.

TYPES OF ACCIDENTS WE HANDLE
EVERY TYPE OFPEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT CLAIM
From the Strip to Boulder Highway, Thomas Boley represents pedestrians struck by vehicles throughout Las Vegas and Clark County, Nevada.
Crosswalk Collisions
Under NRS 484B.283, drivers must yield to pedestrians in both marked and unmarked crosswalks. Yet hurried drivers on Charleston Boulevard and across the valley strike people crossing lawfully every week. These cases often involve clear liability — but insurers still fight them.
Left-Turn & Intersection Strikes
Left-turning drivers watch oncoming traffic, not the pedestrian already in the crosswalk. High-volume intersections near the Strip and downtown Las Vegas produce some of the valley's most serious pedestrian strikes — often while the pedestrian had the walk signal.
Hit-and-Run Accidents
Fleeing the scene of an injury accident is a felony in Nevada. When the driver vanishes, we move fast to pull traffic-camera and business surveillance footage, canvass witnesses, and activate your own Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage — which protects you even as a pedestrian.
Parking Lot & Driveway Accidents
Las Vegas's sprawling casino, shopping center, and grocery store parking lots are constant danger zones. Drivers backing up blind, shooting out of driveways, or hunting for a space strike pedestrians at low speed — and still cause serious fractures and head injuries.
School Zones & Child Victims
Nevada imposes heightened duties on drivers in school and crossing zones. Children are the most vulnerable victims — harder for drivers to see, and their injuries are often catastrophic. Thomas Boley handles these cases with the seriousness and care your family deserves.
Impaired or Distracted Drivers
Many Las Vegas pedestrian crashes happen at night along corridors like Boulder Highway, with alcohol or a phone screen in the mix. Cell phone records, toxicology results, and surveillance footage prove negligence — and drunk-driving cases may support punitive damages.
CRITICAL STEPS
WHAT TO DO AFTERA PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT
The steps you take in the hours and days after being struck by a vehicle can determine the outcome of your case. Follow these steps to protect your health and your legal rights.
Seek Medical Attention Immediately
A pedestrian has zero protection against a vehicle. Take the ambulance or get to an emergency room the same day. Brain injuries and internal bleeding may show no symptoms for hours. An immediate medical record is also the single most important piece of evidence in your claim.
Document the Scene & Witnesses
Photograph the vehicle, the crosswalk, signals, lighting conditions, and your injuries. Get witness names and phone numbers before they leave. Note the locations of nearby traffic cameras, casino cameras, and business surveillance — that footage is often overwritten within 24–72 hours.
Report to Police — No Recorded Statements
Call 911 and make sure a police report is generated — it is the official record of the crash. But never give a recorded statement to the driver's insurance company. Their adjusters are trained to turn your own words into comparative fault against you.

WHAT YOU CAN RECOVER
COMPENSATION FORINJURED PEDESTRIANS
A pedestrian has no frame, no seatbelt, no airbag. That is why these crashes cause catastrophic injuries — traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, multiple fractures, severe road rash, and wrongful death. Nevada law allows recovery of two categories of damages.
Economic Damages
- Emergency room and hospital bills
- Surgery, specialist, and rehabilitation costs
- Future medical treatment and lifetime care
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Medical equipment, home modifications, and transportation
- Funeral expenses in wrongful death cases
Non-Economic Damages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and post-traumatic stress disorder
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Permanent scarring and disfigurement
- Disability and loss of mobility
- Loss of consortium (spousal relationship)

INSURANCE COMPANY TACTICS
INSURERS BLAMETHE PEDESTRIAN
In pedestrian cases, insurers follow a predictable script: the pedestrian was jaywalking, wearing dark clothing, came out of nowhere, was staring at a phone. Every percentage point of fault they pin on you directly reduces what they have to pay under Nevada's comparative fault rule.
Thomas Boley knows this script and knows how to dismantle it — with footage, witnesses, the driver's phone records, and reconstruction experts. We prepare every case as if it will go to trial, and that preparation produces better settlements.
Tactic: Blaming the pedestrian for "jaywalking"
Our counter: Under NRS 41.141 you recover as long as you are 50% or less at fault — drivers always owe a duty of due care
Tactic: Arguing dark clothing or poor visibility
Our counter: We reconstruct lighting, sight distance, and speed to prove an attentive driver would have seen you
Tactic: Inflating your comparative fault percentage
Our counter: We use footage, witnesses, and reconstruction experts to pin fault where it belongs — on the driver
Tactic: Quick lowball offer before your injuries are known
Our counter: Never sign anything until the full extent of your injuries is known — pedestrian injuries often worsen over time
Tactic: Requesting a recorded statement
Our counter: Never give a recorded statement without an attorney — we handle every communication with the insurer
NEVADA LAW
KEY STATUTES GOVERNINGPEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT CLAIMS
Driver Duty to Yield at Crosswalks
Nevada law requires drivers to yield the right-of-way to pedestrians crossing within a crosswalk — marked or unmarked — stopping if necessary. It also prohibits passing a vehicle stopped at a crosswalk, a frequent cause of strikes on multi-lane roads like Charleston Boulevard. A violation of this statute is powerful evidence of negligence in your claim.
View full statute →Pedestrian Duties — Why "Jaywalking" Doesn't Bar Recovery
This statute requires pedestrians crossing outside a crosswalk to yield to vehicles. Insurers cite it to blame the victim. But drivers always retain a duty to exercise due care to avoid hitting a pedestrian — including sounding the horn and slowing down. Crossing mid-block reduces your recovery only in proportion to your fault. It does not eliminate it.
View full statute →Modified Comparative Fault
Nevada follows a modified comparative fault rule. You can recover damages as long as you are 50% or less at fault, with your compensation reduced by your percentage of fault. In pedestrian cases, insurers aggressively inflate the victim's share — dark clothing, jaywalking, distraction. An experienced attorney counters these tactics with facts and evidence.
View full statute →Two-Year Statute of Limitations
In Nevada, you have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit — and two years from the date of death in wrongful death cases. Missing this deadline permanently bars your claim no matter how strong it is. Surveillance footage and witnesses disappear far sooner — act immediately to preserve your case.
