What Is My Pedestrian Accident Case Worth?

The value of your case depends on many unique factors, including:

  • The severity of your injuries
  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Lost income and reduced earning capacity
  • The impact on your daily life and independence
  • Available insurance coverage
  • Evidence of fault and liability

Damages Available to Pedestrian Accident Victims

If your accident was caused by a negligent driver, you may be entitled to recover both economic and non-economic damages. Examples include:

  • Economic damages: hospital bills, surgeries, rehabilitation, prescription costs, lost wages, diminished earning potential, and other out-of-pocket expenses
  • Non-economic damages: pain and suffering, emotional distress, reduced quality of life, scarring, disfigurement, and loss of companionship
  • Punitive damages: in rare cases, courts may award additional damages to punish especially reckless or egregious behavior

Our team will carefully assess the full impact of the accident to pursue maximum recovery on your behalf.

Can I Still Recover Compensation If I Am Partly at Fault?

Yes. Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can recover compensation if you are 50% or less at fault for the accident. However, your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

Example: If your damages total $100,000 but you are found 20% at fault, your recovery will be reduced to $80,000. If you are 51% or more responsible, you cannot recover compensation. That’s why it is critical to have a skilled Henderson pedestrian accident attorney defend you against unfair blame.

If you haven’t reached out yet to Cogburn Davison I highly recommend you do! I can’t even begin to explain what great customer service I received from when first walking in the door and having the receptionist be so nice and friendly up until my case settled! The attorney Hunter S. Davidson and his paralegal Jessica Mejia were not only friendly and compassionate but they made sure me and my family understood every step of this lawsuit! My father was neglected in a nursing home and I couldn’t find an attorney in Vegas who specialized in these type of cases. Once my friend recommended me to Cogburn Davidson and I saw their exceptional customer service I knew I was in the right place. They were able to get my father and our family the justice he deserved! Don’t hesitate and call Cogburn Davidson, you won’t regret it!

Kendelee was calm, clear, and never made me feel like just another case. She explained my options without pressure and kept me in the loop the entire time.

Common Injuries in Pedestrian Accidents

Because pedestrians have no protection in a crash, injuries are often catastrophic. Cogburn Davidson frequently represents clients who have suffered:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and concussions
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Internal bleeding and organ damage
  • Severe lacerations and abrasions
  • Nerve damage
  • Wrongful death of a loved one

Prompt medical treatment is essential both for your recovery and for building a strong legal claim.

Leading Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Henderson

Most pedestrian accidents are caused by driver negligence, including:

  • Distracted driving (texting, using phones, eating, or adjusting controls)
  • Speeding or reckless driving
  • Failure to yield at crosswalks or intersections
  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Poor weather or low visibility conditions
  • Lack of safe infrastructure such as sidewalks or marked crossings

When drivers or facilities fail to prioritize pedestrian safety, the consequences can be life-changing. Cogburn Davidson works to uncover the cause of every crash and hold negligent parties accountable.

Proving Negligence in a Pedestrian Accident Case

To recover compensation, you must prove four elements of negligence:

  1. Duty of care: Drivers owe pedestrians a duty to operate vehicles safely.
  2. Breach of duty: The driver failed to meet that standard (for example, by speeding or running a red light).
  3. Causation: The driver’s conduct directly caused the accident.
  4. Damages: You suffered actual losses, such as medical bills, injuries, or lost wages.

Our attorneys gather evidence such as accident reports, medical records, witness statements, and video footage to build a strong case on your behalf.

How Long Do I Have to File a Pedestrian Accident Lawsuit in Nevada?

Nevada law generally gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline could bar you from recovering any compensation.

Because evidence can disappear quickly, it’s best to consult a lawyer as soon as possible after the accident.
