Attorneys Experienced in Intersection Car Accidents
As one of the most dangerous areas for motorists and pedestrians to cross, intersection accidents can cause catastrophic injuries to all involved. In Las Vegas, where some of Nevada's most prominent intersections are found, the risk of being in this type of collision is high for tourists, cyclists, and area locals going to work at the local casinos.
Fortunately, state law does offer recourse for victims and their families that experience an intersection-related accident. For those burdened by medical bills, lost wages, and long-term rehabilitative therapy because of another's negligence, personal injury compensation can help.
Common Causes of Intersection Accidents in Las Vegas
Intersection accidents are not much different from other collision scenarios in terms of the factors leading to their occurrence. Sadly, the common thread found in any accident invariably involves a negligent act or risky behavior by one or more drivers, which could include:
Speeding
Intoxication
Distraction
Mechanical failure
Dangerous intersection designs
As you can see, many of these factors could be viewed as a violation of Nevada traffic law. Proving your case is the more difficult part as you will need to prove that these actions occurred, that a duty of care was breached standards, and that the accident caused by this breach resulted in your injuries.
This complex process of proving a personal injury claim requires a highly skilled car accident attorney with extensive knowledge and practice experience in these areas.

Types of Las Vegas Intersection Accidents
Pedestrian Accidents
While motor vehicle collisions are the most common in an intersection, the most deadly usually involve pedestrians. Las Vegas is a town where millions of tourists visit every year. As a result of this enormous foot traffic, crossing busy thoroughfares like the Tropicana-Las Vegas Boulevard intersection. All it takes is a single distracted driver to run a red light on a right turn to strike a pedestrian. The resulting injuries could include:
Internal organ damage
Broken bones and/or skull
Multiple fractures
Traumatic brain injuries
Dismemberment
Spinal trauma
Road rash
Disfigurement
Death
Rear-End Collisions
The most common intersection accidents in Las Vegas are rear-end collisions. Typically caused by distracted driving, these fender benders can still cause significant injuries to the car struck from behind and result in the following injuries:
Whiplash
Head injuries
Dislocated joints
Spinal trauma
These injuries are often compounded if a multi-car pileup ensues after the initial impact.
Side-Impacts
Also called a “T-Bone” or “Broadside” accident, these impacts are devastating to those struck in an intersection. Having your body violently whipped from side to side leads to debilitating injuries, including:
Severe neck and spine injuries
Internal bleeding
Dislocated joints
Broken bones and skull fractures
Deafness and/or blindness
Death
Herniated/ruptured discs
Motorcycle Crashes
Just like pedestrian intersection accidents, motorcycle crashes that occur in these areas are equally catastrophic because riders are exposed to greater impact severity than those within a car.
Regardless of the situation, most of these collisions result from not checking one's blind spot or failing to yield. In cases where a motorcyclist loses control in an intersection because of road hazards like potholes, debris or standing water, they face equally severe injury risks that can devastate their lives.
