Nevada's statute of limitations is 2 years — but evidence disappears in days. The sooner you call, the stronger your case.
Nevada has one of the highest pedestrian fatality rates in the country. GHSA reported Nevada’s preliminary adjusted 2024 pedestrian fatality count at 113, with a rate of 3.46 per 100,000 residents. Pedestrians account for approximately 21% of all traffic deaths in Nevada. These are not abstract numbers. Each one represents a family whose life changed in seconds.
When a driver strikes a pedestrian, the consequences are almost never minor. There is nothing between a person on foot and a vehicle moving at speed. Sellouk Law represents pedestrian injury victims with the full force of our trial capability, pursuing the compensation that reflects what was truly taken from you — not what the insurance company offers to make the case go away.
Pedestrian collisions with vehicles produce some of the most catastrophic injuries in personal injury law. Common injuries include:
In serious cases, the lifetime costs of medical care, rehabilitation, and lost earning capacity are substantial. Our job is to ensure your settlement or verdict reflects the full scope of your losses — not what the insurance company decides your suffering is worth.
Defense attorneys and insurance adjusters frequently argue that pedestrians contributed to their own accidents — by crossing mid-block, ignoring a signal, or wearing dark clothing at night. Under Nevada's modified comparative negligence law, even if you bear some responsibility, you can still recover as long as your fault is 50% or less.
We build a case that identifies all available sources of recovery and pursues fair compensation and minimizes any assigned fault. Surveillance footage, witness statements, traffic engineering analysis, and accident reconstruction all contribute to establishing exactly what happened and who bears primary responsibility.
Crosswalk rights: Under NRS 484A.065 (which defines crosswalks; NRS 484B.283 governs crosswalk right-of-way duties), implied crosswalks exist at every intersection — even where there are no painted markings — connecting the lateral lines of sidewalks across the street. Drivers are required to yield to pedestrians at all crosswalks, marked or unmarked.
Comparative negligence: Under NRS 41.141, you can recover even if you share some fault — as long as your fault is 50% or less. In pedestrian cases, insurers routinely argue the victim was jaywalking, wearing dark clothing at night, or crossing against a signal. If you are found 20% at fault on a $100,000 claim, you still recover $80,000. We build the record from day one to push back on inflated fault assignments.
Statute of limitations: 2 years from the date of the accident for personal injury claims. Wrongful death claims follow the same 2-year window from the date of death.
Government liability: If dangerous road design, broken crosswalk signals, or inadequate lighting contributed to your accident, the city or county may share liability. Claims against government entities require a formal notice within 90 days — a strict deadline that cannot be missed.
Uninsured drivers: An estimated 10–15% of Nevada drivers carry no insurance. If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, your own UM/UIM coverage may provide a recovery. We identify every available source of compensation.
Recoverable damages: All medical expenses, future care, lost wages, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, disfigurement, long-term care expenses, and in cases of drunk or reckless driving, punitive damages.
