Distracted Driving Accident Lawyers in Nevada

Holding negligent drivers accountable when distraction causes devastating crashes.

Why Distracted Driving Cases Matter in Nevada

Texting, checking GPS, or even grabbing food from the passenger seat may feel harmless, but on Nevada roads, these split-second distractions can cause life-altering accidents. In 2022 alone, distracted driving was a leading cause of serious crashes statewide. Victims often face hospital stays, lost wages, and ongoing rehabilitation, while insurance companies rush to minimize claims.

At Cogburn Davidson Injury Lawyers, we fight for people whose lives have been derailed by distracted drivers. With offices in Las Vegas and Henderson, we represent clients across Nevada, preparing every case for trial so that insurers know we mean business.

How Cogburn Davidson Can Help After a Distracted Driving Crash

Interview witnesses and subpoena surveillance or traffic camera footage
Work with accident reconstruction experts to demonstrate how distraction caused the crash
Protect you from insurance companies that attempt to shift blame onto the victim
Calculate the full cost of your damages, including future care and lost earning potential
Take your case to trial if that is what it takes to secure justice

Texting or using a phone while driving

Eating, drinking, or reaching for items in the car
Talking to passengers
Personal grooming or applying makeup

Wrongful death

Our attorneys fight to ensure victims are fully compensated for both immediate and long-term consequences.
