Personal Injury:

Car Accidents

Every day, good drivers and pedestrians in Nevada are injured in accidents caused by negligent drivers. These accidents can lead to some of the most catastrophic and life-changing injuries possible. If your or someone you love has been involved in an automobile accident, you need an experienced attorney who will fight for your rights to ensure the responsible party is held accountable.

 

Why are auto insurance rates so high in Nevada? It’s because Nevada roads are some of the most dangerous in the nation.

 

  • Our tourist economy means that there are thousands of out-of-state drivers on our roads who are not familiar with our roads.
  • Rental Car companies try to avoid their responsibility for providing vehicles to uninsured drivers.
  • Our 24-hour party lifestyle means there are too many impaired drivers on our roads.
  • Lyft and Uber want to shift their responsibility onto their drivers, who may not carry sufficient insurance.
  • Uninsured, unregistered, and hit and run drivers are a hidden threat on our roadways.
 

The true cost of an accident, even a minor one, is not limited to repairing your vehicle. Insurance companies want to pay the least amount they can. Injuries can affect you for the rest of your life. Many doctors do not treat patients who are the victims of car accidents.

 

Our Personal Injury team can help evaluate your claim, deal with the insurance companies and get you the settlement that you deserve.

 

Victims who hire a personal injury attorney are more likely to collect a larger settlement – one that actually compensates for the real losses involved in an auto accident. The insurance companies have a team working to deny you compensation, you deserve to have a team on your side to fight for justice.

If you or someone you know has been personally injured because of something someone else did or something someone should have done but failed to do, then you need an aggressive and attentive lawyer on your side.

At The Law Offices of Eric K. Chen, we handle claims involving car accidents caused by:

  • Drunk driving
    Drunk driving accidents happen all too often. If you or a loved one were injured in a DUI accident, our firm is here to help! We work hard to secure as much compensation as possible.
 
  • Texting and driving and other forms of negligent driving
    Distracted driving is an extremely dangerous practice but we all know how many people use their cell phones and other devices when they shouldn’t. When distracted drivers cause an accident, they should be held accountable for the damage they inflict.
 
  • Rear-end collisions
    Following too closely to a car in front is one of the most common causes of rear-end collisions. Even if you brake in time to avoid changes in traffic ahead or react to a changing traffic signal, the driver of the car behind you may not be paying attention or may not have left enough room between your cars to come to a safe stop.
 
  • Defective auto parts
    When auto manufacturers create defective products, they can be held liable for the damages they cause. These complicated cases need expert representation to hold those who value profit over people accountable for the injuries they cause.
 
  • Unsafe road conditions
    In some situations, the local government can be held accountable for accidents caused by unsafe road or road construction conditions.
