What Is My Pedestrian Accident Case Worth?

No two pedestrian accident claims are alike. The value of your case will depend on several factors, including:

  • The severity and permanence of your injuries
  • The extent of your medical treatment and recovery time
  • The impact on your ability to work and earn income
  • Whether you experienced lasting pain, disability, or emotional trauma
  • The strength of evidence proving liability

You deserve compensation that truly reflects your suffering, not a lowball offer designed to save the insurer money.

Our attorneys will calculate the full scope of your damages, including:

Economic Damages

  • Medical bills (past, current, and future)
  • Lost income and reduced earning capacity
  • Rehabilitation and assistive devices
  • Property damage (e.g., phones, clothing, personal items)

Non-Economic Damages

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress and trauma
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Disfigurement or permanent disability
  • Loss of companionship or consortium

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Las Vegas

Las Vegas is one of the most pedestrian-heavy cities in the nation, especially around the Strip, Downtown, and major intersections. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the most dangerous. Common causes of pedestrian crashes in Las Vegas include:

  • Distracted driving (texting, phone use, eating, etc.)
  • Speeding or reckless driving
  • Failure to yield at crosswalks or intersections
  • Running red lights or stop signs
  • Drunk or drug-impaired driving
  • Unsafe left turns or improper lane changes
  • Poor visibility and nighttime driving
  • Jaywalking or pedestrian error

Even a moment of carelessness behind the wheel can have devastating consequences for pedestrians. Our attorneys will investigate every detail to prove exactly how the crash happened and who’s responsible.

Pedestrian Injuries We Handle

Pedestrians are completely exposed in an accident: no airbags, seatbelts, or metal frames for protection. As a result, injuries are often catastrophic or fatal. We represent victims who have suffered:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Internal bleeding and organ damage
  • Severe lacerations and soft tissue injuries
  • Crush injuries and amputation
  • Psychological trauma and PTSD

If your loved one was killed in a pedestrian accident, we can also help you file a wrongful death claim to hold the negligent driver accountable.

Can I Recover Compensation If I’m Partly at Fault?

Yes, in many cases, you can.

Under Nevada’s modified comparative negligence rule, you can recover compensation even if you share some of the blame for the accident. However, your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re found 20% at fault and awarded $100,000, you’d receive $80,000. If you’re 51% or more at fault, you’re barred from recovery, which makes it critical to have a skilled attorney on your side to protect your rights and minimize your share of liability.

What To Do After a Pedestrian Accident in Las Vegas

If you’re struck by a vehicle, what you do next can make a major difference in your recovery and your case:

  1. Call 911 immediately and report the accident.
  2. Get medical attention — even if you feel “fine.” Some injuries take hours or days to appear.
  3. Take photos and videos of the scene, your injuries, and any visible damage.
  4. Get witness contact information and driver details.
  5. Avoid speaking to the driver’s insurance company before talking to an attorney.
  6. Contact Cogburn Davidson for a free consultation.

We’ll handle everything from there, from investigating to negotiating, so you can focus on healing.

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. What really stood out was how responsive she was. If you’re dealing with an injury and feeling overwhelmed, I highly recommend calling Cogburn Davidson.

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

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

Failing to file within that time frame means you could lose your right to compensation entirely. Some cases have shorter or extended deadlines, so it’s important to speak with a pedestrian accident attorney in Las Vegas as soon as possible.
