Millions Recovered for Accident Victims
Settlements Won for Our Clients
Common Injuries in Hit and Run Accidents
Common injuries resulting from hit-and-run accidents include:
Whiplash
A neck injury caused by a sudden back-and-forth movement of the head, often resulting from rear-end collisions.
Traumatic Brain Injuries
A blow to the head that can cause a wide range of cognitive, emotional, and physical impairments.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Damage to the spinal cord, which can result in paralysis, loss of sensation, and chronic pain.
Broken Bones and Fractures
Ranging from minor to severe and requiring extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
Internal Injuries
Damage to internal organs, leading to potentially life-threatening complications.
Amputation
Loss of limbs or extremities due to severe trauma, requiring lifelong adaptation and prosthetics, and even ongoing pain.
Back Injury
Damage to the vertebrae, discs, or muscles of the back that can cause chronic pain and limited mobility.
Neck Injury
Beyond whiplash, more serious neck trauma that may involve vertebral damage and long-term complications.
Nerve Damage Injury
Trauma to the nervous system resulting in pain, numbness, weakness, or loss of function in affected areas.
No matter what kind of injury youâve sustained, youâll likely be able to pursue some kind of compensation if you were the victim of a hit-and-run.
Financial and Emotional Toll of a Hit and Run
The financial consequences of a hit-and-run can also be devastating. The costs of emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, medication, physical therapy, and ongoing medical treatment can quickly add up. If your injuries prevent you from working, you may lose significant income. Furthermore, repairing or replacing your vehicle can be expensive.
Not only do hit-and-run victims have to cope with physical injuries and property damage, but they also have to deal with the emotional distress of knowing the person responsible has fled the scene and may never be held accountable. The trauma of the accident, the uncertainty of finding the at-fault driver, and the financial burden can all contribute to emotional distress, anxiety, and even post-traumatic stress disorder.

Hit and Run Laws in Nevada
Nevada law requires drivers involved in accidents to stop immediately. Key statutes include:
- NRS 484E.020: Requires drivers to stop at car accident scenes involving death or personal injury.
- NRS 484E.030: Mandates providing name, address, vehicle registration, and license information to other parties and police, plus rendering reasonable aid to injured persons.
- NRS 484E.040: Covers duties when damaging unattended vehicles or property, including stopping and notifying the owner or leaving written contact information.
- NRS 484E.050: Requires immediate notification to police for accidents with unattended vehicles or property.
Failure to comply with these laws constitutes a hit and run offense with penalties, including fines, license suspension, and imprisonment, regardless of whether injuries occurred. Those facing charges should seek representation from our experienced Las Vegas hit and run attorneys.
Why Do Drivers Flee the Scene?
There are several reasons why a driver might flee the scene of a hit and run crash. For one, drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs may panic and flee to avoid DUI charges. If theyâre unlicensed or uninsured, they may flee to avoid other penalties or legal consequences.
Some drivers with outstanding warrants or a history of criminal activity may flee to avoid being arrested.
Finally, in some cases, drivers may be in shock after an accident and flee without thinking clearly.
Regardless of the reason, leaving the scene of a car accident is a crime in Nevada. Hit-and-run drivers can face serious penalties, including fines, license suspension, and even jail time.
Establishing Fault When the Driver Is Unknown
While it may seem challenging to prove fault when the driver has fled the scene, our Las Vegas hit-and-run accident lawyers have experience in investigating these cases and using various methods to identify the responsible party.
We may be able to:
- Track down the at-fault driver: We can use witness statements, surveillance footage, and other evidence to identify the vehicle involved and potentially locate the driver.
- File a claim with your own insurance company: If you have uninsured motorist coverage (UM) or underinsured motorist coverage (UIM), you may be able to file a claim with your own insurance company to cover your losses.
- Pursue a claim with the state's uninsured motorist fund: In some cases, you may be eligible to file a claim with Nevada's uninsured motorist fund.
Accomplishing these tasks is difficult on your own, but itâs what we do best. Put your case in our hands, and let us help you pursue justice.

What to Do After a Hit-and-Run Accident
If youâre involved in a Las Vegas hit-and-run accident, take these steps:
- Call 911: Report the accident to the police immediately.
- Document the accident scene: Take photos or videos of the damage to your vehicle, your injuries, and the surrounding area.
- Gather witness information: If there were any witnesses to the accident, get their contact information.
- Seek medical attention: Even if you don't think you're seriously injured, get checked out by a medical professional.
Once youâre safe and have thoroughly documented the incident, contact a Las Vegas hit-and-run accident lawyer. Theyâll be able to explain your legal options for compensation.
How Long Do I Have to File a Hit and Run Accident Lawsuit in Nevada?
If you're the victim of a hit and run accident in Nevada, you generally have two years from the date of the incident to file a lawsuit against the responsible parties. This statute of limitations is strictly enforced under Nevada law. While certain exceptional circumstances may extend this deadline in rare cases, missing the filing window typically means permanently losing your right to seek compensation through the courts. So, consult with our experienced hit and run attorneys immediately to protect your rights and ensure all critical deadlines are met.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hit & Run Accident
Can I still file a claim if the police couldnât find the driver?
Yes, you may still be able to file a claim with your own insurance company under your uninsured motorist coverage or underinsured motorist coverage.
What if I was a passenger in a car that was involved in a hit-and-run accident?
As a passenger, you still have the right to file a car accident claim for your injuries, even if you donât know who the at-fault driver is. You can file a claim with the driverâs insurance company (if they have insurance) or your own insurance company (if you have UM/UIM coverage).
What should I do if the other driver involved contacts me after leaving the scene?
Do not engage with the other driver. Instead, contact our hit and run attorneys immediately. Our accident lawyers in Las Vegas can advise you on how to proceed and protect your rights.
What happens if someone lies about a hit-and-run?
Filing a false hit-and-run report carries serious legal consequences, including potential charges for perjury, insurance fraud, and obstruction of justice. Penalties may include substantial fines, imprisonment, a permanent criminal record, and automatic denial of related insurance claims.
Does car insurance pay for a hit & run lawyer?
Many drivers are unaware that their car insurance policy may include legal expense coverage. Depending on your specific policy and whether you're defending against a claim or pursuing damages, your insurer might pay for some or all of your attorney fees.
