Jennifer Gastelum brings extensive knowledge in bicycle and pedestrian accidents as well as experience in representing pedestrian and bicyclist victims. Let us fight for your rights and help you obtain the compensation you deserve. Pedestrian and bicyclist victims often endure severe physical injuries and trauma, including but not limited to:
- Broken bones
- Lacerations, contusions, and abrasions
- Bone dislocation
- Amputation
- Cosmetic disfigurement
- Neck and spinal injuries
- Traumatic head/brain injuries
- Death
The losses suffered by these victims extend beyond medical expenses. They are entitled to compensation for pain, suffering, lost wages, and more. Nevada Law upholds the rights of pedestrians and imposes heightened safety standards on vehicle drivers. According to Nevada Law (NRS 484B.280), motor vehicle drivers are obligated to:
- Exercise due care to avoid collisions with pedestrians
- Provide an audible warning, using the vehicle horn if necessary, to prevent such collisions
- Exercise caution when encountering pedestrians:
- On or near highways, streets, or roads
- At or near bus stops or transit stops
- In or near school zones or marked/unmarked crosswalks
Furthermore, Nevada Law (NRS 41.130) allows for compensation in cases where personal injury results from the wrongful act or negligence of another party:
“When any person suffers personal injury due to the wrongful act, neglect, or default of another, the person causing the injury is liable to the injured person for damages. If the person causing the injury is employed by another person or corporation responsible for their conduct, the responsible person or corporation is also liable for damages.”
Similar to all personal injury cases, you will not be charged unless we secure a successful outcome. If you have been a victim of a pedestrian or bicyclist accident, contact us today for a free consultation. Make these changes to improve your text:
