Nevada Rollover Crash Seriously Injures Two People

Thursday, 10 June 2010 09:18

The men are both listed in critical condition after the crash, and they are 20-year-old Michael Schultz of Henderson and 22-year-old Cory Bradbury.  Schultz was driving his Volkswagen Passat at what police described as a high rate of speed at mile post 3 on State Road 165 near the town of Nelson, which sits near Boulder City.  No details were provided as to what could have led to the rollover, but fire rescue workers had to manually extricate the men from the crushed vehicle.

Both suffered serious head injuries and one of the passengers had to be air-lifted to University Medical Center in Las Vegas for treatment and observation.  The other was transported by ambulance.  Police have stated that they are beginning an investigation to determine a cause for the accident.

Nevada Auto Accident Statistics

We'd first like to convey our hopes that the men involved in this crash are able to recover from their injuries, but as stated above, rollover crashes tend to lead to terrible results.  We also hope that neither of these men ever become part of the troubling set of statistics regarding fatal Nevada auto accidents.  Every year, approximately 400 people are killed in these situations, and that number has held steady for several years.

Based on the willingness of police to state that speed was a factor in this rollover crash, it's possible that the driver could have been negligent for the injuries suffered.  If the investigation confirms this notion, the passenger in the vehicle could have legal rights and options against the driver depending on the rest of the facts.  If a Nevada personal injury lawsuit is successful, the plaintiff could recover damages that include medical expenses, lost income and pain and suffering.
