Las Vegas Aggressive Driving Lawyer

Aggressive driving accidents, especially severe ones, can result in serious injuries such as:

Whiplash

Car accidents often result in sudden stops, which can cause the neck to be forcefully jerked back and forth; this is often known as whiplash and can lead to chronic pain and limited mobility.

Head Injuries

High-impact accidents can result in traumatic brain injuries (TBI), concussions, and other head injuries, which can result in long-term effects on cognitive function and memory.

Spine Injuries

Aggressive driving car accidents can result in damage to the spinal cord, which can lead to partial or complete paralysis.

Broken Bones

The force of a car accident can easily fracture or break bones; commonly broken bones in a car accident are bones in the arm, leg, ribs, and pelvis.

Internal Injuries

The impact of a car accident may cause damage to internal organs, such as the liver, spleen, and kidney. Internal bleeding can go unnoticed as it may not show immediate symptoms, so you must seek medical attention after an auto accident.

Following an aggressive driver accident, multiple parties may be at fault, and it's your attorney's job to identify the parties responsible for the car accident.

In these types of accidents, your lawyer may determine these parties liable for the accident:

• The Aggressive Driver: Typically, in reckless accident cases, the at-fault party is the driver who engaged in aggressive behaviors such as speeding, tailgating, or dangerous lane changes.
• Employers: If the reckless driver was operating a company-owned vehicle and was doing company-related tasks, the driver's employer may be liable for the crash under the legal doctrine of "respondent superior."
• Manufacturers: If a vehicle defect or malfunction contributed to the accident, the manufacturer may be liable under product liability laws.
• Other Driver: Under Nevada's comparative fault law, multiple parties can be at fault for a car accident, meaning if another driver contributed to the accident, they may be held liable.
