Injured in a Left-Turn Collision?

Left turns are some of the riskiest maneuvers drivers make. Whether at busy intersections like Eastern Avenue and Sunset Road or on high-speed routes such as I-215 interchanges, a misjudged left turn can cause devastating collisions. Victims of these crashes often suffer serious injuries, expensive medical bills, and long recoveries.

Damages Available to Henderson Left Turn Accident Victims

Victims of left turn crashes in Nevada may be entitled to both economic and non-economic damages, including:

Economic Damages

  • Emergency medical treatment and hospitalization
  • Rehabilitation and therapy costs
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Vehicle repair or replacement
  • Other accident-related expenses

Non-Economic Damages

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress and mental anguish
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Loss of consortium

In cases of extreme negligence, punitive damages may also be available.

What If I’m Blamed for the Crash?

Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover damages if you are 50% or less responsible for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your share of fault.

If you are found 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover damages. Our attorneys are skilled at challenging unfair blame-shifting tactics used by insurers to reduce payouts.

Filing Deadlines in Nevada

Most personal injury cases in Nevada, including left turn accidents, must be filed within two years of the crash. Wrongful death claims follow the same timeline. Delaying action can jeopardize your ability to recover compensation, so it’s important to contact an attorney as soon as possible.
