LAS VEGAS FAILURE TO YIELD ATTORNEY
Right of Way Laws in Nevada
One of the most common causes of accidents in Las Vegas and surrounding areas of Nevada is a driver’s failure to yield to someone who has the right of way. When a failure to yield collision occurs, particularly when the vehicles are traveling at high speeds, the damages can be catastrophic. What’s more, failure to yield crashes involve more than just vehicles; pedestrians, motorcyclists, and bicyclists may all be injured in this type of crash as well. These parties, who have few protections when a crash occurs, may suffer tragic injuries. In order to determine fault for a failure to yield accident, it is first important to understand right of way laws in Nevada. Consider the following laws regarding who has the right to proceed in the following scenarios:
- When approaching an intersection… When a driver is approaching an intersection in Nevada, this driver must yield the right of way to a vehicle that has entered the intersection from a different roadway.
- When approaching an intersection at the same time… When two vehicles are approaching an intersection at the same time, the driver on the left is required to yield the right of way to the driver on the right.
- When turning left… A vehicle that is making a turn to the left is required to yield to any other vehicle approaching from the opposite direction.
In addition to these, there are a number of other right of way laws that apply when a vehicle is at a stop sign or yield sign, wants to cross an intersection where there is a crosswalk and a pedestrian, or driving around a vehicle. The full list of right of way laws can be viewed in Chapter 484B – Rules of the Road of Nevada Code.
When a Driver Fails to Yield
When a driver fails to yield and therefore is in violation of right of way laws, the potential for an accident is high. One of the most common failure to yield crash types is a T-bone accident, where the front of one car slams into the side of another. This, and other failure to yield accident types, can lead to serious crashes and injuries, including head injuries, traumatic brain injuries, back and spinal cord injuries, fractures, soft tissue injuries, facial injuries, internal injuries, and cuts and bruises.
When a driver breaks the law by failing to yield and another party suffers harm as a result, the negligent, or lawbreaking, driver is responsible for the harmed parties injuries and damages. In order to hold this driver liable for harm, the claimant must prove that their injuries would not have been sustained but for the failure to yield (or any other act of negligence).
Gathering Evidence to Support Your Case
Proving that you had the right of way and that the other driver failed to yield the right of way, resulting in the collision, can be difficult to do. In order to prove this and recover the compensation that you deserve, you will need to gather a variety of evidence types. Sources of evidence that can be useful in supporting your claim include:
- Witnesses & statements;
- Photo evidence;
- Any video footage of the accident;
- Police reports;
- The testimony of the other driver;
- Angles of impact and damage on the vehicles;
- Skid marks or other signs that a driver was speeding, tried to stop, etc.
