LAS VEGAS – A suspected DUI crash in the central Las Vegas Valley resulted in two individuals being hospitalized, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. The incident occurred on Tuesday evening around 8:50 p.m. near the intersection of Spring Mountain Road and Arville Street.
Metro police responded to reports of a collision involving a black SUV and two pedestrians. The black SUV, after hitting the pedestrians, continued its path and collided head-on with a white SUV. Emergency responders quickly arrived on the scene, and the injured pedestrians were transported to a local hospital for treatment. The extent of their injuries remains unknown at this time. Authorities have indicated that impairment appears to be a key factor in the crash, and further investigation is underway to determine the exact circumstances.
This unfortunate incident serves as a grim reminder of the serious consequences of driving under the influence. At Behzadi Law, we understand the devastating impact such accidents can have on victims and their families. Victims of DUI accidents often face not only physical injuries but also emotional trauma, lost wages, and mounting medical bills. In cases like this, the victims need to know their rights and the types of compensation they may be entitled to.
Potential Compensation for Victims
Victims of DUI crashes, such as the pedestrians involved in this incident, may be entitled to various forms of compensation. This can include covering medical expenses for emergency care, ongoing treatments, and rehabilitation. Compensation may also account for lost wages if the injuries result in an inability to work, as well as for pain and suffering endured due to the trauma of the accident. In severe cases, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the reckless behavior of the impaired driver and to deter similar actions in the future.
