Our firm secured a $65,000 settlement for two sisters who were seriously injured in a rear-end collision caused by an intoxicated driver in Las Vegas. The case highlights the devastating consequences of drunk driving and the importance of holding impaired drivers fully accountable.
The crash occurred on October 22, 2015, when the sisters were stopped at a red light on State Road 160. While lawfully stopped, their vehicle was violently rear-ended at high speed by another car. The force of the impact caused significant damage and immediately placed both occupants at risk of serious injury.
Evidence revealed that the driver who caused the crash had been drinking earlier that evening. After the collision, the driver fled the scene, further compounding the seriousness of the conduct. The vehicle involved was owned by a separate individual, raising additional legal issues regarding responsibility for allowing an impaired driver access to the car.
Both sisters suffered physical injuries as well as emotional trauma from the sudden and violent impact. They required ongoing medical treatment and faced financial strain due to medical bills, missed work, and disruption to their daily lives.
The defense attempted to minimize liability by offering conflicting accounts regarding who was driving at the time of the crash. Our firm conducted a thorough investigation to establish that intoxication and negligence were the direct causes of the collision. We also pursued claims based on negligent entrustment and reckless conduct, emphasizing the dangerous decision to drive while impaired and the risks posed to the public.
Ultimately, we secured a $65,000 settlement that provided compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering. While no settlement can undo the trauma caused by a drunk driving crash, this outcome helped our clients move forward and reinforced accountability for dangerous behavior.
This case demonstrates how experienced Las Vegas DUI accident lawyers can protect victims’ rights and pursue meaningful recovery when drunk drivers cause preventable harm.
