ABOGADO DE ACCIDENTES POR CONDUCIR EBRIO EN HENDERSON

Experimentado abogado de accidentes a tus servicios

Conducir ebrio es un grave problema en el condado de Clark y en todo el sur de Nevada. De hecho, según los datos publicados por el Departamento de Seguridad Pública de Nevada , conducir ebrio da lugar a aproximadamente 70 muertes en el estado cada año, y muchas más personas sufren lesiones muy graves. Con tantas formas alternativas de transporte disponibles en nuestra área, simplemente no hay excusa para conducir ebrio.

En Naqvi Injury Law, nuestro despacho lucha por los derechos legales y los intereses financieros de las víctimas de accidentes por DUI. Si usted o un ser querido fue víctima de un conductor ebrio, usted necesita un abogado agresivo y experimentado a su lado. Nuestros abogados experimentados de accidentes con conductores ebrios de Henderson están listos para asistirle.

Las víctimas de accidentes por conducir bajo ebriedad merecen una indemnización

Según la ley de Nevada, las víctimas de accidentes automovilísticos pueden responsabilizar a la parte culpable por el alcance total de sus daños. Esto significa que las víctimas tienen derecho a una indemnización por todas las pérdidas monetarias directas, así como por los daños intangibles y no económicos. Dependiendo de la naturaleza de su reclamo por lesiones por accidente de DUI, nuestro despacho puede ayudarlo a obtener una recuperación financiera para:

Reparaciones de vehículos;
Gastos Médicos de emergencia;
Otras facturas médicas;
Terapia física o psicológica;
Pérdida de ingresos, incluida la disminución de la capacidad de ingresos;
Discapacidad a largo plazo;
Desfiguración;
Pérdida de extremidades; y
Dolor y padecimiento

En particular, en casos de accidentes por conducir bajo ebriedad, las víctimas también pueden tener derecho a recuperar daños punitivos. A diferencia de todos los tipos de compensación por lesiones, los daños punitivos no están vinculados a ninguna de las pérdidas de la víctima, sino que están destinados a castigar las malas acciones del acusado. Si bien los daños punitivos son relativamente raros, pueden otorgarse en casos que involucran accidentes graves por conducir bajo ebriedad .

Construyendo un caso exitoso de accidente por conducir bajo ebriedad

En Nevada, como en todos los demás estados de EE. UU., Conducir en estado de ebriedad es un delito penal. El conductor ebrio que causó su accidente debe ser acusado de un delito, probablemente muy grave. Sin bien es importante entender que habrá una distinción entre el caso penal y su caso civil. En última instancia, estos dos procedimientos son dos acciones legales separadas; se realizan en diferentes salas de la corte, en diferentes momentos e involucran diferentes estándares probatorios.

Una condena penal no le otorgará la indemnización total que se merece. Para ello, debe trabajar con un abogado calificado en accidentes de conductores ebrios de Henderson que pueda ayudarlo a presentar una demanda civil sólida. El lado criminal del caso puede tener cierta relevancia para su reclamo civil, ya que su abogado puede utilizar una condena penal como evidencia para probar la responsabilidad. En última instancia, un caso legal sólido requiere probar tanto la responsabilidad por accidente como la prueba de la totalidad de sus daños. Nuestro despacho trabaja arduamente para reunir toda la evidencia del caso para hacer un reclamo convincente en su nombre.

Common Causes of Automobile Accidents

Automobile accidents happen each and everyday across Las Vegas. The causes of auto accidents vary immensely, but when you are involved in an accident that is attributable to the negligence or reckless behavior of the other driver, you should be compensated for the harm that they have caused you. There are a number of common causes for auto accidents, some of which include:

Accidents that are caused by the negligence of another can produce all kinds of serious injuries to victims. Typical car accident injuries include broken or fractured bones, head injuries, traumatic brain injuries, internal bleeding, damage to internal organs, neck and back injuries, spinal cord issues, burns, lacerations, crush injuries, amputations and death. Anyone who has sustained an injury during an accident should seek financial compensation from those who are accountable.

I was hurt in a car crash. What is my personal injury claim worth?

This depends on the severity of your injury. Are you permanently disabled or unable to return to your job because of the injury? Did you lose a loved one in the car wreck? Every case is different, so every settlement/verdict is different. The best way to determine the value of your potential case is to give me a call.

How much insurance do I need to have on my car?

The state of Nevada requires all vehicles currently registered to maintain liability insurance during the entire registration period, even if you don't use your car, truck, SUV, or other motor vehicle. Nevada state law requires the following minimum coverage: Bodily Injury $25,000 for bodily injury or death of any one person on any one accident $50,000 for bodily injury or death of two or more persons on any one accident Property Damage $20,000 for any one accident; however, it is recommended you purchase more than the minimum coverage. Why? Because if you're involved in a major car wreck, you may not be able recover enough to adequately cover medical expenses. For example, if your injury claim is worth $100,000, but you and the at-fault driver only have the $20,000/$40,000 bodily injury minimum, you will only be paid $20,000 by the at-fault driver's insurance company and $20,000 by your own underinsurance carrier. You should also purchase uninsured motorist/underinsured motorist insurance since roughly 10 to 15 percent of Nevada drivers don't have adequate car insurance. If you purchase this coverage, you can file a claim against your own insurance to help recover for your injury expenses

Can You File an Insurance Claim Without a Police Report?

After you are involved in a car accident, one of the most important things to do is make sure that you file a claim with your insurance company; if you do not file a claim and initiate the process, you may be barred from recovering compensation. When you file your claim, including as much documentation as is possible is important. The more evidence that you can provide your insurance company, the more likely it is that your claim will be approved. While including a police report may not be a requirement, failure to include a police report may raise questions about the validity of your claim. Without a police report, your insurance company may question whether or not the accident really even occurred - are your injuries perhaps related to a separate incident? Further, even if your insurance company believes that your accident did occur and is legitimate, the may not have the evidence they need to make a decision about your claim. Police reports are important sources of evidence, containing information about fault for the car accident, when and where the car accident occurred, property damage, and injuries.

Is Nevada a No-Fault State?

States maintain either fault-based or no-fault based insurance systems. In the latter, when a driver is involved in a car accident, they turn to their own insurance company for compensation regardless of who actually caused the accident. In some cases, drivers who live in no-fault states can step outside of the fault-based system and file a lawsuit against the responsible driver, but only when their damages exceed a certain threshold. Nevada is an at-fault insurance state. In an at-fault state, drivers are responsible for paying for the accidents they cause. This means that when an accident occurs, the not-at-fault party may file a claim for damages against the at-fault party’s insurance. Unlike no-fault states, to recover compensation from another driver in Nevada after a crash you will need to prove fault. This requires submitting a number of different evidence types, including a police report, witness statements, physical evidence, and more. Nevada also maintains a contributory negligence law, which means that your damages can be reduced in proportion to your degree of fault. It also means that if your degree of fault is greater than the defendant’s, you will be barred from recovery entirely. While no-fault systems are often criticized based on the fact that claimants have to prove fault in order to recover compensation, they also have a major advantage over no-fault claims: the ability to seek compensation for noneconomic losses. In a no-fault system, claimants are barred from filing a claim against the other driver for noneconomic losses.

How Is Fault Determined in a Car Accident?

Because Nevada is an at-fault car insurance state (which means that the driver who causes an accident is responsible for paying for any damages that result), it is important that you know how fault is determined if you’ve been in a crash. In fact, if you cannot provide evidence that proves the fault of the other party, your claim for damages may be denied, or you may be offered less than you deserve. Fault is typically based on negligence per se or negligence (or carelessness or recklessness in some cases). Negligence per se is the violation of a statute or law; negligence is the failure to act with a reasonable degree of care. Based on the negligence standard, a driver need not violate the law in order to be held liable for a crash. In order to prove fault, it is important that a thorough investigation into your car accident is conducted. The investigation should seek to collect a number of different evidence types, including photographic evidence, proof of skid marks or debris from the accident, witness statements, police reports, physical damage to vehicles (interior and exterior), the other driver’s statement, and information that provides insight about when and where the accident happened, and what conditions were like at the time of collision (lighting, weather, traffic, etc.). In some cases, accident reconstruction experts may need to be brought in - this is important when fault is disputed. In some cases, both parties may be found partially at fault. If this is the case, the claim will be subject to the rules of comparative negligence.

Sea escéptico de las empresas de seguros

Las víctimas de accidentes de DUI generalmente necesitarán buscar una indemnización de una gran empresa de seguros. En algunos casos, puede que sea de su propia asegurada. Aún así, las víctimas deben tener cuidado al lidiar con los representantes bien capacitados de la empresa de seguros. Recuerde que estas empresas estarán viendo por sus propios intereses; y no estarán interesado en pagarle una indemnización justa y completa. Para ayudarlo a protegerse, nuestro equipo ha elaborado una lista de los tres consejos al lidiar con los ajustadores de seguros:

Nunca acepte tener la culpa por un accidente de DUI. Usted no fue el conductor en ebriedad y por lo tanto no debe aceptar ninguna culpa por el choque. Puede que los ajustadores de seguros le quieran atribuir algo de culpa. No lo acepte. Deje que su abogado maneje cualquier disputa en la cual usted tenga la culpa.
Nunca especule, dé opiniones o discuta ningún aspecto de sus lesiones o su recuperación física. Los ajustadores de seguros querrán encontrar una forma de hacer que sus lesiones parezcan menos graves para que puedan limitar la responsabilidad financiera de la empresa. Siempre que sea posible, usarán su declaración en su contra. Deje que los documentos médicos cuenten la historia. Usted no tiene por qué dar una declaración sobre sus lesiones directamente a un ajustador de seguros.
Nunca acepte la primera oferta de arreglo. Ninguna empresa de seguros lidera con su mejor oferta. Incluso si el ajustador de seguros trata de decirle que le están dando una “oferta máxima” o que “están ofreciendo lo máximo que pueden”, no les crea. Usted no tiene por qué aceptar un centavo menos que la compensación total que se merece.
