Damages Available to Intersection Crash Victims in Las Vegas

Victims of intersection accidents in Nevada may be entitled to economic and non-economic damages.

Economic Damages

Economic damages cover financial losses such as:

  • Emergency medical care and hospital bills
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation
  • Lost income and reduced earning capacity
  • Vehicle repair or replacement
  • Out-of-pocket expenses

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages compensate for the personal toll of your injuries, including:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress or PTSD
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Disfigurement or permanent scarring
  • Loss of companionship or consortium

If the at-fault driver acted with extreme recklessness, such as drunk driving, you may also be eligible for punitive damages.

What Is My Intersection Crash Case Worth?

Every crash is different, but generally, your case value depends on:

  • The severity and permanence of your injuries
  • Your medical costs, both current and future
  • The impact on your ability to work and earn income
  • The pain and emotional trauma caused by the accident
  • The degree of fault assigned to each driver

While minor intersection injuries may result in settlements between $5,000 and $50,000, catastrophic injuries such as paralysis or brain trauma can lead to six- or seven-figure recoveries. Our Las Vegas intersection crash lawyers will carefully evaluate your claim, ensuring no damage or loss goes overlooked.

Can I Still Recover Compensation If I’m Partially at Fault?

Yes. Nevada uses a modified comparative negligence rule, allowing victims to recover damages if they are 50% or less at fault for the crash.

However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility. For example: If you were awarded $100,000 but found 20% at fault, you would receive $80,000. If the insurance company tries to shift blame to reduce your payout, our attorneys will push back and fight for your full recovery.

Common Causes of Intersection Crashes in Las Vegas

Las Vegas intersections are among the most dangerous in Nevada. Many serious accidents happen due to negligent or reckless driving behaviors, including:

  • Running red lights or stop signs
  • Distracted driving (texting or using cell phones)
  • Speeding or aggressive driving
  • Failing to yield the right-of-way
  • Drunk or drug-impaired driving
  • Poor visibility or bad weather conditions

Our firm will investigate your accident, identify what went wrong, and hold the negligent parties accountable.

Common Injuries in Intersection Accidents

Because of the angle and force of impact, especially in T-bone or head-on collisions, intersection crashes often result in severe or life-altering injuries, including:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Internal organ damage
  • Whiplash and neck injuries
  • Loss of limbs or amputations
  • Wrongful death

At Cogburn Davidson, we work closely with medical experts to document your injuries, prove their long-term impact, and maximize your financial recovery.
