When drivers choose to get behind the wheel of a vehicle while they are under the influence of alcohol or prescription drugs, their chances of causing a collision increase dramatically. Drugs and alcohol can have a variety of effects, including blurred vision, poor balance, and delayed reaction time. Consequently, drunk drivers are often unable to safely control their vehicles or react in time to avoid a collision.
Unfortunately, drunk driving car accidents continue to be a problem in Nevada. According to statistics from the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety, approximately 37 percent of fatal accidents that occur in Nevada involve someone who operated their vehicle while under the influence in a recent year.

In many drunk driving accident scenarios, the drunk driver is the sole cause of the accident. However, drunk drivers’ insurance companies frequently do everything they can to avoid paying out compensation to accident victims, so they often try to blame the victim. They do this because they are big businesses and are safeguarding their own financial interests. Furthermore, if the insurance company sees that you are representing yourself in a personal injury case, they will likely take advantage of you and make a low offer or even refuse to pay compensation for your injuries.
The experienced Las Vegas drunk driving accident attorneys at Cloward Trial Lawyers can handle filing your claim and settlement negotiations on your behalf and let you know whether a particular settlement offer is worth accepting, given the circumstances of your accident and your injuries.

In the State of Nevada, it is illegal for an individual to have physical control of a vehicle on a public road or highway while they are under the influence of a controlled substance or intoxicating liquor. According to the law, a driver is under the influence of alcohol if they have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of at least 0.08 percent.
If a drunk driver is convicted of driving under the influence (DUI), they could face high criminal penalties, including jail time, monetary fines, and license suspensions. Moreover, if they cause an accident that leads to property damages and physical injuries, they or their insurance company may have to pay monetary damages to the accident victim.
At Cloward Trial Lawyers, our experienced Las Vegas car accident attorneys will aggressively fight for your right to recover the full compensation that you deserve, either through a financial settlement or litigation.
Drunk drivers are more likely than sober drivers to engage in dangerous behaviors like speeding, weaving in and out of traffic, or losing control over their vehicles while they are on the road. Moreover, these high-speed accidents oftentimes occur completely out of the blue and – when a driver least expects them. Consequently, drivers and passengers may suffer serious injuries.
The types of injuries that drunk driving accident victims may suffer often depend upon the type of accident that occurs. Intoxicated drivers may cause rear-end collisions, broadside accidents, sideswipe collisions, or head-on collisions, which may lead to fatalities.
The injuries that an accident victim ultimately suffers may also depend upon the force of the collision and the way in which their body moves inside their vehicle during the crash. Common injuries that drunk driving accident victims sustain include:
If you sustain any of these injuries in a crash that resulted from a drunk driver, the skilled legal team at Cloward Trial Lawyers is here to help. We can start gathering the necessary documents to prove your claim while you focus your attention on getting medical treatment and recovering from your accident-related injuries.
In a drunk-driving accident case, the injured accident victim must satisfy their legal burden of proof to recover monetary compensation. Therefore, they must demonstrate that another driver operated their vehicle while intoxicated and that this negligence caused their accident.
To satisfy this legal burden, you or your lawyer may be able to introduce various pieces of evidence, including the results of the drunk driver’s field sobriety test, blood or urine test results, the drunk driver’s arrest records, a police report which details the circumstances surrounding the crash, statements from eyewitnesses, a DUI conviction which the drunk driver sustained in the criminal court system, or surveillance footage which shows the drunk driver consuming alcohol at a bar or other establishment prior to driving.
If you are able to satisfy the legal elements of your claim, you could recover various damages. First, you could pursue monetary compensation for your medical expenses, as well as for your lost earnings and other out-of-pocket costs. In addition, you may be eligible to recover monetary damages for your inconvenience, past and future pain and suffering, mental distress, loss of life enjoyment, or loss of the ability to use a body part.
At Cloward Trial Lawyers, our legal team will do everything possible to maximize your settlement or award. Specifically, we can forward the appropriate documents to the insurance company on your behalf, and if your matter goes to trial, introduce these documents as evidence in your case.
Our Personal injury law firm operates under a contingency fee. This means you won’t be charged a single dollar until we win your drunk driving accident case.
