LAS VEGAS PEDESTRIAN INJURY LAWYERS
REPRESENTING INJURED PEDESTRIANS IN ONE OF THE COUNTRY’S BUSIEST CITIES
In Las Vegas, pedestrians constantly fill the sidewalks and crosswalks. At any time of the day or night, countless pedestrians can be found, walking the strip. These pedestrians should not have to fear for their safety, but in the presence of distracted or aggressive drivers, they may be struck and injured. Their injuries have the likelihood of being catastrophic or even deadly.

STAYING SAFE AS A PEDESTRIAN IN LAS VEGAS
As a pedestrian, there are several steps you can take that offer a proactive approach to your safety:
- Only cross the street at marked crosswalks or intersections, whenever possible.
- Obey pedestrian signals and signs.
- Even when crossing at a marked crosswalk, look both ways and be aware of motorists at all times.
- Never assume that a driver can see you. Try to make eye contact and only cross if you are sure that all motorists are stopping to let you pass (even if you have the right of way).
- Keep a lookout for turning vehicles.
- Avoid wearing headphones or talking on the phone while crossing the street.
If you have been injured in spite of your best efforts, our Las Vegas pedestrian accident attorneys are standing by to help you pursue fair compensation for medical treatment, emotional trauma, lost earnings, and potentially more.
