HENDERSON DRUNK DRIVING ACCIDENT LAWYER
Your Recovery Is Our Priority
Free ConsultationDrunk driving often results in serious injuries and fatalities. Alcohol consumption affects a person’s judgment and reduces reaction times. This makes accidents more likely to occur.
The devastating part is that these accidents can be prevented. When a person decides to drink alcohol, they should have a plan in place. How will they get home?
There are rideshare services. There are taxis. A person can always call a friend or family member to get them home. So it’s frustrating when a person decides to drive drunk and ends up causing a serious accident. Many of these crashes injure or kill innocent victims.
What happens if you are a victim? You need effective legal help on your side. The drunk driver can face a criminal and civil lawsuit. A Henderson drunk driving accident lawyer from Cameron Law can help you with the process.
Motorists know that drinking and driving is illegal, so why do they do it instead of getting a taxi or rideshare vehicle? Here are some of the reason they have given:
After a drunk driving accident, you should follow the same process as a regular car accident. This means you should still stop and remain at the accident scene. You should call 911 if anyone is injured. Whether or not you are injured, you should seek medical help right away. This will protect your case in the event that you develop symptoms later on.
It’s also important to get evidence. Take photos of the accident scene, as well as damage to vehicles and any injuries. Show any weather or road conditions. Take notes about the crash. When and where did it happen? What happened before the accident? If there were any witnesses, get their contact information.
Keep everything related to your medical care and other damages. Keep track of lost wages. Take notes about your medical care.
Contact a lawyer to learn about your legal rights. You have just two years from the accident date to file a personal lawsuit, under Nevada law, so don’t delay. An experienced attorney can help you file a lawsuit and obtain compensation.
