Do you want to avoid getting hurt in an auto accident in Las Vegas? Here’s one way to accomplish that: steer clear of the most dangerous intersections in the valley.

This week, the Las Vegas Sun newspaper listed the 15 Worst Las Vegas Intersections in terms of injury accidents. It looked at all of the injury crashes reported from January through June of 2011 and picked out which intersections had the largest number of these types of incidents. The results, along with the number of injury wrecks reported in the first six months of the year, are listed below.

Sahara Avenue & Decatur Boulevard – 11
Sahara Avenue & Arville Street – 11
Tropicana Avenue & Paradise Road – 11
Tropicana Avenue & Decatur Boulevard – 11
Charleston Boulevard & Lamb Boulevard – 10
Tropicana Avenue & Koval Lane – 10
Charleston Boulevard & Rainbow Boulevard – 10

Tropicana Avenue & Pecos Road – 8
Charleston Boulevard & Nellis Boulevard – 8

Of course, if you are ever injured in a motor vehicle collision that was caused by someone else, you should seek medical attention immediately. Then be sure to call a qualified auto accident attorney to see about getting compensated for any medical bills and lost time at work.

Two Fatal Accidents Occur Within 12 Hours

On November 27, 2010, In Nevada Personal Injury Information, By admin

By Farhan Naqvi, Personal Injury Lawyer in Las Vegas

Two families will associate this past Thanksgiving week with tragedy after two people lost their lives in separate car accidents in Las Vegas within about a 12-hour period.

On Tuesday night, a 52-year old man turned his car into the path of a sport utility vehicle in Las Vegas. A Honda Accord was trying to turn left onto Duneville Street from Tropicana Avenue (just west of Club de Soleil) when the vehicle was rammed by a Chevrolet Trailblazer. The 61-year old driver of the SUV suffered injuries and was transported to University Medical Center.

Police are calling the wreck an accident. It’s hard to determine which driver failed to yield the right of way. This detail might be the determining factor in figuring out which man was responsible for the fatal SUV-truck accident.

Then a few hours before sunrise on Wednesday morning, a car smashed into a light pole in eastern Las Vegas, killing the 31-year old driver. According to police, the unidentified woman struck the pole with her vehicle in the 5600 block of East Sahara Avenue, which is near Sloan Lane and the Desert Rose Golf Course. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

No other vehicles were involved in the incident, and authorities say speed was a contributing factor. So it appears that this fatal auto accident was the fault of the driver and no one else. 

If you or someone you love has been hurt or killed in an auto accident, contact a qualified personal injury attorney to see about getting compensation from those responsible.

Five People Injured in Tour Van Accident on Interstate 15

On June 2, 2010, In Nevada Personal Injury Information, By admin

By Farhan Naqvi, Las Vegas Injury Lawyer

A group of tourists came to see the bright lights and bustling streets of Las Vegas. Unfortunately, they’ll leave the city with serious injuries. A tour van carrying five people was involved in an accident with a car at an onramp to get onto northbound Interstate (I-15).

The accident occurred at a traffic signal at the Tropicana Avenue onramp. The four passengers and driver in the tour van suffered serious injuries, according to ktvn.com.

This accident may have involved a car running a red light. The driver of the car said they did not know which vehicle had a red light before the accident.

The injured victims in this wreck are probably concerned with the cost of medical expenses, the severity of their injuries, and who was at fault. This accident probably ruined their trip and being involved in a car crash is an extremely traumatic event. They should speak with an injury lawyer to determine if they should file a personal injury claim. This may be the best course of action if it is determined the driver of the other car, or the driver of the tour van, was negligent or reckless at the red light. They may also need to seek compensation to cover medical bills and any lost wages that accrue from being in the hospital for a prolonged period of time.
