One Killed, One Critically Injured in Wrong-Way Nevada Car Accident

Written by Las Vegas Accident Lawyers Monday, 14 February 2011 15:53

People who have any degree of experience behind the wheel tend to learn to anticipate mistakes that are made by other motorists and to avoid them before they become a real danger.  Unfortunately, there are certain mistakes that are so egregious and random that few if any people could ever see them coming.  One example of this type of mistake is when a vehicle is driving at a high rate of speed in the wrong direction down the road.  That appears to be what occurred with a Nevada car accident that took place over the weekend, killing one person and critically injuring another.

According to authorities, this fatal Nevada car accident occurred on Saturday at approximately 3:30 p.m. on Interstate 15 near Mesquite at Mile Marker 117, which is about five miles south of the city.  The driver of a Lexus was apparently moving in a northbound direction in the southbound lanes of Interstate 15 when he slammed head-on into the driver of an Infiniti.  The driver of the Lexus was killed and the driver of the Infiniti was critically injured in the crash that police are still investigating.

First and foremost, we'd like to express our condolences to the family and friends of the man who was killed and express our hope that the person who was critically injured is able to recover from the harm that he suffered.  In addition, this fatal Mequite car accident will now become part of the overall statistics regarding fatal Nevada car accidents.  Every year, more than 400 people are killed in these occurrences somewhere in the state, and these numbers have held steady for several years.

There are times when fighting for the rights of someone who has been severely harmed can seem cold and harsh.  Filing a Nevada personal injury lawsuit against the estate of someone who was killed in a Nevada car accident is one of those situations, but the fact remains that those who are injured by drivers through no fault of their own have legal rights that need to be protected and enforced.  Such could be the case with the driver who was critically injured in this Mesquite car accident.
