Experienced Road Hazard Attorneys
Hazardous roadway conditions lead to hundreds of accidents in Las Vegas every year and often cause life-changing injuries to those who suffer them. While most of these incidents result from another driver's negligence, other factors can significantly contribute.
If you were involved in a wreck due to hazardous conditions on the road, it's crucial to speak with a seasoned car accident lawyer at Vegas Valley Injury Law as soon as possible. Not only can we explain what your rights are to compensation for damages under Nevada law, but we can explain why your crash was the result of dangerous circumstances created by another party's negligence.
Types of Crashes Caused by Hazardous Roadways
When trying to understand what situations qualify as a hazardous roadway condition, you need to evaluate the type of crash that occurred, the number of vehicles in the accident, the speed involved, the traveling direction, and the hazard present.
Types of crashes caused by hazardous roadways are:
Single Vehicle Collisions
These are the most frequently seen crash types that result from hazardous roadway conditions. Whether by force of nature like a fallen tree, or because another driver crosses the center line causing you to swerve off the road, the resulting devastation and injuries can be permanent.
Head-On Crashes
As one of the most deadly accident scenarios, head-on crashes can result from a driver unintentionally entering oncoming traffic lanes. At high speeds and with other vehicles not having adequate stopping distance, these crashes can be fatal.
T-bone Accidents and More
T-bone accidents, rear-end collisions, and roll-overs can happen when a dangerous road situation occurs, and the only option is to swerve or brake suddenly. Like head-on car accidents, crash victims frequently sustain catastrophic injuries that leave them permanently disabled.
Any car accident could potentially lead to fatal or lifelong injury scenarios for the victims involved. From traumatic brain injuries to paralysis, whiplash and fractured bones after being ejected from the vehicle; the financial, physical, emotional devastation that can occur requires compensation when another's negligence led to hazardous road conditions.
