How to Hold Negligent Parties Responsible
Negligent, distracted driving is the leading cause of pedestrian accidents, and there are plenty of things to distract drivers in Las Vegas. Drugs and alcohol can play a significant role as well.
Some of the leading causes of pedestrian accidents include:
- Turning right or left across crosswalks without seeing pedestrians
- Backing out of driveways or parking spaces without checking for pedestrians
- Failing to notice and yield to pedestrians on the street
- Speeding through suburban neighborhoods where children are playing
