Drunk Driving Incident Attorneys, Serving LV
Driving under the influence is a serious safety issue on highways across the entire United States. In Las Vegas, police sounded the alarm earlier last year that DUI incidents were on the rise locally. With the reputation of being the city that never sleeps, it comes as no surprise that drunk driving accidents are an issue in a town with an economy based on entertainment and tourism.
The devastation these types of negligent actions have on pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists is on a catastrophic level. If you or a loved one was hurt by a drunk driver accident, contact Vegas Valley Injury Law right away. Nevada law makes it a crime for someone to get behind the wheel intoxicated and provides the opportunity to pursue compensation for the harm they caused you. We can help you prove the liable party's egregious actions led to the accident that turned your life upside down and help you get on the road to recovery.

Civil Claims vs. Criminal Proceedings for Drunk Driver Accidents
Because criminal lawsuits are a different area of law than civil personal injury claims, understanding how each type can impact the outcome of your injury case is important. Typically, drunk driver accident crimes are handled by the state of Nevada. Accident victims will have to file a civil claim to remedy their damages and to receive any compensation. It is on you and your seasoned drunk driver accident attorney to take the steps necessary to file a claim with the at-fault driver's insurance company or pursue a lawsuit in civil court.
Victims of DUI accidents only have two years from the day of the crash to pursue a civil claim against the defending party. If you miss this deadline, the courts will refuse to move forward with your case, which means you cannot seek compensation for the harm caused to you. This is why our lead attorney Garrett Logan recommends contacting his firm, Vegas Valley Injury Law, to set up a consultation and ensure you don't lose the right to file. This meeting is free, and our legal team can help you and your family get your claim filed before the deadline expires.
