Pedestrian | Bicycle Accident Lawyer Las Vegas
Pedestrian accidents with cars are awful. The crippling injuries, even death, that can be sustained by these types of preventable accidents is tragic. Unfortunately, every year the statistics get worse. Las Vegas has one of the highest incidents of pedestrian accidents due to the large volume of walking traffic on the sidewalks and crosswalks of the roads. Pedestrians walking or running are at a great risk of accident, usually without a form of recovery! Drunks normally do not have insurance coverage and consequently, many victims feel there is no way to seek recourse.
We wish it was as simple to remember to look both ways before crossing the street, but unfortunately it isn’t as simple as that. Plus, even adults don’t even use the crosswalk, as they are injured while jaywalking, or crossing in the middle of the street.

All this can be avoided, sadly because pedestrian vs auto accidents result in deaths in 7 out of 10 times, statistically. And in the above cases where people don’t obey the simple rules of using a crosswalk at the right time, or jaywalking, they often do not have a case.
The Law Offices of Peter Goldstein is dedicated to representing those who have suffered a loss or disability in a pedestrian accident, or crosswalk accident. Like I said before, these cases can be challenging, if not difficult, to pursue. Almost always the insurance company will allege comparative fault or negligence against the accident victim. Experience is everything in helping you prove your case.
Some key elements we focus on are:
* Was the accident at night? Sometimes drivers forget how fast they are going at night, and their depth perception is not accurate enough to see the pedestrian.
* Was the accident during the day? What time? Often accidents occur in the afternoon when the sun interferes with a drivers ability to see
* We work with high-quality experts to help prove vital aspects of your claim
You need an experienced pedestrian accident attorney who can successfully defeat the insurance company's claims of negligence either in court or before a lawsuit is ever necessary.
Attorney Peter Goldstein, a respected Las Vegas Pedestrian Accident Lawyer, has the experience and the skills to successfully prove the case in court and present the case in a way that will help motivate jurors or the insurance company to award maximum compensation.
