What To Do After a Car Accident in Las Vegas

A crash can leave you shaken, even when the damage looks minor at first. The steps you take early can help protect your health, your claim, and the records your lawyer may need later. Here’s what to do:

  • Call 911 and report the crash: A police report can help document what happened. If police do not investigate at the scene, Nevada may require an SR-1 report within 10 days when the crash involves injury, death, or $750 or more in vehicle or property damage.
  • Get medical care as soon as possible: Pain is not always immediate after a crash. Whiplash, soft tissue injuries, and internal injuries can show up later. Medical records also help connect your injuries to the accident.
  • Collect evidence at the scene: Take photos of the vehicles, road, traffic signals, skid marks, debris, and visible injuries. Get the other driver’s name, insurance details, driver’s license information, and license plate number.
  • Speak carefully: Do not apologize, admit fault, or guess about what happened. Avoid giving a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company until you understand your rights.

Insurance adjusters may be polite, but they are not there to protect your claim. At Gina Corena & Associates, we can speak with the insurance company on your behalf, review what happened, and explain your options during a free case review.

Understanding Nevada Car Accident Laws

Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means you can still recover compensation if you were partly at fault, as long as you are not more than 50% responsible for the crash.

For example, if another driver ran a red light but you were found 20% at fault for speeding, your compensation could be reduced by 20%. So if the total damages were $100,000, the recovery would be reduced to $80,000.

Nevada uses an at-fault system for car accident claims. This means the driver who caused the crash is generally responsible for the resulting losses, including medical bills, vehicle damage, lost income, and other case-related damages.

Because fault is central to the claim, evidence matters. Police reports, photos, witness statements, medical records, vehicle damage, and crash reconstruction can all help show how the accident happened.

Nevada generally gives injured people two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you miss that deadline, the court may dismiss your case.

Two years may sound like plenty of time, but medical treatment, insurance delays, missing evidence, and witness availability can all affect your claim, so it is better to act early.

Nevada has separate reporting rules after certain crashes. If law enforcement does not investigate the crash at the scene, you may need to file an SR-1 report with the Nevada DMV within 10 days when the accident involves injury, death, or $750 or more in vehicle or property damage.

This report is different from a personal injury lawsuit. It helps create an official record of the accident, but it does not replace the deadline for filing a legal claim.

Nevada requires drivers to carry minimum liability insurance. The current minimums are $25,000 for bodily injury or death of one person, $50,000 for bodily injury or death of two or more people in one accident, and $20,000 for property damage.

In practice, those minimums may not cover serious injuries from crashes. Medical bills, lost income, long-term care, and vehicle damage can add up quickly.

Some crashes involve drivers with no insurance or insufficient insurance to cover the harm they caused. In those situations, uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, often called UM/UIM coverage, may help through your own policy.

Whether this coverage applies depends on your insurance policy and whether the coverage was accepted or declined. Gina Corena & Associates can review available insurance coverage, including UM/UIM coverage and possible third-party claims.

Common Causes of
Car Accidents in Las Vegas

Las Vegas has a unique mix of traffic hazards. Between tourists unfamiliar with local roads, heavy Strip traffic, and highways like I-15 and US-95 carrying long-haul trucks, crashes happen every day.
