The Las Vegas personal injury lawyers at Albright Stoddard Warnick & Albright know there are few cities in the nation with the traffic gridlock of Las Vegas, as they deal with traffic accident injury cases on a daily basis. Of course, accidents that occur in gridlocked traffic can be very complicated, especially when multiple vehicles are involved, because every driver and their insurance company will have a competing version of events in an effort to reduce their comparative negligence percentage when the case is being settled. The negligence laws in Nevada require any injured driver who is pursuing damage recovery for medical bills resulting from a car accident to have a comparative fault rating that is less than the respondent party, which means that accidents occurring during gridlocked traffic hours can be very contentious when being settled.
