A car accident can disrupt your life in an instant. What might begin as minor discomfort and stiffness can develop into severe pain or a disability that requires long-term medical treatment.

Nevada Crash Statistics

More than 36,000 people die in car accidents each year in the United States. According to reports from the Nevada Department of Transportation, approximately 49,000 traffic accidents occur annually in Nevada, resulting in over 300 deaths. Of those traffic accidents, 35,000 occurred within Las Vegas. If you live or work in the area, the odds are high you have been or will be involved in a car accident.

While you can reduce your risk of an accident by staying focused, obeying the rules of the road, and not driving after drinking, even the safest drivers cannot control the actions of others. If you or someone you care about was involved in a collision with another driver, a large truck, bus, or any other vehicle, reach out to Las Vegas car accident attorney Chasen Cohan right away.

Here are some of the types of auto accident claims in which we advocate for injured people:

• Pedestrian accidents

• Drunk driving accidents

Common Car Accident Injuries in Las Vegas

Whether it was a fender bender on busy roads like Charleston Boulevard or Tropicana Avenue, or a high-speed crash on highways like I-215 or US-95, injuries can range from minor to life-changing. Some injuries may not show up immediately, so vehicle accident victims should always undergo thorough medical evaluations.

Car crash victims often experience a variety of injuries, such as:

• Whiplash
• Fractures
• Soft tissue damage
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord trauma
• Internal injuries
• Chest trauma (especially from seat belts or airbags)

Again, even if you don't feel such injuries right away, it is essential to seek prompt medical care after any crash. Any hidden or developing injuries need to be diagnosed right away. Early intervention can lead to better long-term outcomes and provide the documentation needed for your car injury attorney to present your case. Our team at Cohan PLLC assists individuals with both minor and catastrophic injuries, ensuring each client receives tailored support for their recovery.

Can You Trust Auto Insurance Companies After an Accident?

If you have been in a car accident, you might expect your insurance company or the other driver’s insurer to treat you fairly throughout the process. Many people learn that insurance companies are focused on reducing payouts rather than providing full compensation. Knowing how to address these challenges can protect your financial interests.

Watch for common tactics that auto insurance companies may use to limit your claim:

• Shifting blame to reduce or deny liability for the car accident
• Minimizing the extent of your injuries by questioning your medical records
• Offering quick settlements that are below the actual cost of your losses
• Delaying communication or payment in hopes you will accept less
• Using confusing processes that make it harder to pursue your full claim

Insurance adjusters review claims to find reasons to delay, underpay, or possibly deny valid requests. Common tactics include shifting blame, questioning the seriousness of your injuries, or offering settlements that do not cover long-term costs. When you work with a car injury attorney at Cohan PLLC, we handle negotiations, gather evidence, and respond to insurance company strategies that could limit your recovery.

Cases Involving Uninsured or Underinsured Drivers in Las Vegas

Not every driver on the road has the required insurance, and some have none at all. In Las Vegas, the number of uninsured or underinsured motorists creates challenges for accident victims who need compensation.

Here are some important steps to take after an accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver in Las Vegas:

• File a claim with your own insurance company under your uninsured or underinsured motorist policy
• Provide detailed documentation including medical records and accident reports
• Consult with a vehicle accident attorney who can review your coverage and identify paths to recovery

As a client-focused law firm, Cohan PLLC guides you through every step and makes sure no detail is overlooked. Having a committed car accident attorney in Las Vegas means you have a good chance to secure the compensation you deserve, even when the other driver lacks enough insurance.
