General Info - Car Crash

Car crash injuries and fatalities occur at an alarming rate in the Las Vegas area. The collisions increase in number as the population of the Las Vegas Valley continues to explode, and the attorneys at Benson, Bertoldo, Baker, & Carter have helped many car crash victims and their families over the years. They know how much damage and suffering car crashes cause - emotionally, physically, and financially.

A Major Cause of Death among Kids and Young Adults
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), car crashes and other vehicle-related injuries kill more young adults and children in the U.S. than any other single cause. Over half a million hospitalizations each year are due to car crashes, and more than 40,000 people die in such crashes yearly.

Drunk and Drugged Drivers
Drunk/drugged driving is a major factor in these car crash statistics; nearly 40% of all traffic-related deaths are alcohol-related, and about a fifth involve marijuana, cocaine or another drug. In Nevada and all other states, it’s illegal to drive with a blood alcohol content of 0.08% or higher.

If You’ve Been Hurt in a Car Crash
Being in a traffic accident can affect your life in many ways. The severity of injuries and property damage is a major factor. Vehicles that have been damaged can be repaired or replaced, but when humans have been hurt in a car crash, it’s not as easy to bring life back to normal.

Compensation for Losses
Individuals who have been injured in a car crash may be eligible to receive financial compensation from the party found to be liable for the crash, for losses such as:

• Medical bills - e.g., emergency room, surgery, hospital costs
• Rehabilitation
• Loss of wages or income from missing work
• Permanent loss of ability to work
• Disfigurement and/or disability
• In cases involving fatalities, funeral and burial costs
• Loss of a loved one’s companionship
• Loss of financial support
• Out-of-pocket expenses
