Written by Las Vegas Accident Lawyers Monday, 28 February 2011 14:11

Drivers owe a legal duty of care to their passengers, which means that if the driver acts in a negligent or a reckless manner and a passenger in his or her vehicle is injured as a result, that driver could be liable for damages if a Nevada personal injury lawsuit is filed.  While it's too early to understand completely what went wrong with a single-vehicle Las Vegas car accident that occurred over the weekend, what is clear is that two men were seriously injured as a result of the crash.

According to authorities, this single-vehicle Las Vegas car accident occurred just before 5 a.m. yesterday morning when 30-year-old Cristian Montero was driving his Toyota with 27-year-old Rogelio Solorio riding as his passenger.  As the vehicle approached the intersection of of Sahara Avenue and Torrey Pines Drive, the driver seemed to move outside of the travel lane and struck a light pole that was at the intersection.  As a result of the collison, both men were seriously injured and police are continuing to investigate the situation.
