Many of these incidents stemmed from negligent driving practices such as excessive speed, failure to yield the right-of-way, and failure to maintain a proper lane. The report also noted a significant number of fatal DUI incidents; 35% of the fatalities involved an impaired driver.

Common Injuries in Drunk Driving Accidents
Drunk driving accidents often result in severe and life-changing injuries. Some of the most common injuries include:
Brain Injuries
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can range from mild concussions to severe and permanent damage.
Burn Injuries
These injuries can occur due to car fires or explosions caused by the impact of the accident.
Amputations
Limb loss is a devastating consequence that can occur in severe collisions.
Whiplash Injuries
This involves damage to the neck muscles and ligaments, often leading to pain and stiffness.
Catastrophic Injuries
These are injuries that result in permanent disability, such as paralysis or quadriplegia.
Spine Injuries
These can affect the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar regions of the spine, leading to pain, weakness, and numbness.
Back Injuries
Injuries to the back muscles, ligaments, or discs can cause chronic pain and mobility issues.
Neck Injuries
Neck pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion are common symptoms after a drunk driving accident.
Sadly, some drunk driving accidents result in fatalities, leaving families with immense grief and financial burdens.
Determining Liability in a Drunk Driving Accident
In a drunk driving accident, liability can be complex and involve multiple parties. The intoxicated driver is usually held primarily liable for the accident, although employers can also bear some responsibility. For instance, if an employee was driving under the influence while on company business, the employer could be held liable for the resulting damages.
Proving Your Drunk Driving Claim
To successfully prove your claim and secure compensation, we will gather evidence to establish the following:
Negligence
We must show that the driver was negligent by operating their vehicle while impaired, as proven through BAC tests, eyewitness accounts, and police reports.
Causation
We will establish a direct link between the driver's intoxication and the accident.
Damages
We will quantify your losses, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
Keeping records of the costs you have incurred as a result of your accident can help your lawyer assign an accurate value to your damages.

We will fight to recover lost wages due to your inability to work following the accident.
Pain and Suffering:
Compensation for the physical and emotional distress you have endured.
Property Damage
Compensation for repairs or replacement of your vehicle or other property damaged in the accident.
Punitive Damages
In some cases, you may be eligible for punitive damages, which are intended to punish the defendant for their reckless or malicious actions.
Wrongful Death
If a loved one was killed in a drunk driving accident, we can help you pursue compensation for their lost earnings, funeral expenses, and other losses.
While you focus on recovering, we’ll focus on pursuing the damages you deserve. Our team will handle your case with the utmost sensitivity and diligence.
How Long Do You Have to File a Drunk Driving Lawsuit?
The statute of limitations restricts the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit after a drunk driving accident. If you fail to file a lawsuit within the allotted time, you may lose your right to pursue compensation for your injuries.
In Nevada, the statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits, including those arising from drunk driving accidents, is typically two years from the date of the accident. This means you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit against the responsible party.
It is crucial to contact an attorney as soon as possible to discuss your case and ensure you meet the legal deadlines. Our lawyers can help you understand the statute of limitations in your specific case and ensure that your claim is filed within the allotted time.
Nevada Drunk Driving Laws
Nevada has strict laws regarding drunk driving. A blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08% or higher is considered legally intoxicated. Those convicted of drunk driving face serious penalties, including fines, jail time, and license suspension.

FAQ
How can I prove the other driver was intoxicated?
Evidence that can be used to prove intoxication may include blood alcohol content (BAC) test results, eyewitness accounts, police reports, and video footage.
What if the other driver ran a red light?
If the other driver was speeding, running a red light, or otherwise breaking traffic laws, this can contribute to your case and help you recover compensation.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Nevada uses a system of comparative negligence, which means you can still recover compensation even if you are partially at fault as long as you are not more than 50% at fault.
How long will my case take to settle?
The length of time it takes to settle a case varies depending on the complexity of the case and the cooperation of all parties involved. Your attorney will be able to give you a more accurate timeline for your specific situation.
