Intersection Accidents in Henderson, Nevada

Intersections are among the most dangerous places on the road. Drivers making left turns, running red lights, or failing to yield can cause collisions in an instant, often with life-changing consequences. In Henderson, busy intersections along Eastern Avenue, Sunset Road, and Stephanie Street see frequent crashes that leave victims facing hospital bills, lost wages, and long recoveries.

At Cogburn Davidson, we’ve spent nearly two decades fighting for Henderson families. With more than 40 years of combined legal experience and hundreds of millions recovered for accident victims across Nevada, our intersection accident attorneys in Henderson know what it takes to hold negligent drivers accountable.

Common Injuries in Intersection Accidents

Because of the angle and force of these crashes, injuries are often serious. Victims frequently suffer from:

  • Traumatic brain injuries and concussions
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Whiplash and soft tissue damage
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Internal bleeding and organ damage
  • Facial injuries and lacerations
  • Burns from vehicle fires
  • Wrongful death

Prompt medical attention protects not only your health but also your right to file a strong injury claim.

What Is My Intersection Crash Case Worth?

No two cases are alike, but certain factors influence how much compensation you can recover:

  • Severity of your injuries
  • Cost of current and future medical care
  • Amount of time you’ve missed from work
  • Impact on your ability to earn a living in the future
  • Property damage and out-of-pocket expenses
  • Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
  • Insurance coverage available
  • Degree of fault assigned to each party

Our legal team will review all of these factors to ensure you don’t settle for less than you deserve.

Damages Available to Intersection Crash Victims

Nevada law allows victims to pursue both economic and non-economic damages:

Economic Damages May Include

  • Emergency treatment and hospital bills
  • Rehabilitation and therapy costs
  • Lost wages and reduced future earning capacity
  • Property damage and vehicle repairs
  • Out-of-pocket expenses related to the accident

Non-Economic Damages May Include

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress and anxiety
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Loss of companionship or consortium

In cases of egregious misconduct, punitive damages may also be available to punish reckless behavior.

What If I’m Blamed for the Crash?

Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means:

  • You can still recover damages if you are 50% or less at fault
  • Your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault
  • If you are found 51% or more responsible, you cannot recover compensation

Insurance companies often use this rule to minimize payouts. Our attorneys fight back against unfair blame-shifting tactics.

Filing Deadlines in Nevada

Most personal injury lawsuits in Nevada, including intersection crashes, must be filed within two years of the accident. Wrongful death claims follow the same timeline. Missing this deadline can permanently bar you from recovering damages, which is why contacting a lawyer quickly is so important.
