Leading Causes of Highway Crashes in Las Vegas

Highway collisions are almost always preventable. Some of the most common causes include:

  • Impaired driving: alcohol, drugs, and even prescription medications impair judgment and reaction time
  • Speeding: drivers traveling too fast for road or traffic conditions often lose control
  • Drowsy driving: fatigue slows decision-making and can lead to drivers falling asleep at the wheel
  • Distracted driving: texting, eating, or using in-car technology diverts focus from the road
  • Dangerous weather: heavy rain, fog, or icy roads reduce visibility and control
  • Poor road conditions: construction zones, debris, and potholes often force unsafe maneuvers

Whatever the cause, if negligence contributed to your crash, our attorneys will work to prove liability and hold the at-fault driver or entity accountable.

How Long Do I Have to File a Highway Accident Claim in Nevada?

In Nevada, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident.

Failing to file within this timeframe means losing your right to compensation. However, exceptions exist: for example, when minors are involved or if the crash involves a government entity. The safest step is to speak with a highway crash lawyer in Las Vegas as soon as possible to protect your rights.
