Car Accidents in Las Vegas Construction Areas

It is helpful to anticipate driving situations which can result in traffic accidents before a collision occurs. For instance, if a freeway lane on I-215 is ending in a quarter mile and there is a car in that lane next to you, you can reasonably assume that the car will need to merge into your lane. This would allow you to speed up or slow down in order to make room for the merging car and avoid an accident.

How to File a Property Damage Claim After an Auto Accident

Before notifying an insurance company about your accident, get two or more written repair estimates, a copy of the accident report filed by police, and any invoices related to storage, towing, or rental expenses if applicable. If the total damages to your vehicle surpass 80 percent of its value, then the insurance company will total it.

Those Pesky Insurance Adjusters

Do NOT agree to anything the insurance adjuster initially offers. Make sure that your attorney reviews your case first. If the adjuster sends you some paperwork to sign a few days after your phone conversation, do not sign it until you show the documents to your lawyer.

Slip and Fall Accidents Can Lead to Serious Injuries

Slip and fall accidents can happen almost anywhere in Las Vegas. For example, let’s say you’re inside the Bellagio Hotel and Casino heading towards their Le Cirque restaurant when you slip on a wet surface. No sign was out alerting you to this slippery spot and you hit your head very hard on the ground causing a head injury. In this situation, you should consult with a personal injury attorney and pursue a personal injury claim.
