Hit-and-Run Victim in Las Vegas? Here’s What You Need to Know

 A hit-and-run accident is one of the most frustrating and traumatic experiences a driver or pedestrian can face. Whether your vehicle was sideswiped while parked or you were injured by a fleeing driver, you still have rights, and Naqvi Injury Law is here to help you protect them.

Common Types of Hit-and-Run Accidents:

  • A driver strikes a parked vehicle and leaves without a note

  • A motorist hits another car and drives off without exchanging information

  • A pedestrian or cyclist is hit, and the driver flees the scene

Many hit-and-run drivers leave the scene to avoid consequences for DUI, driving without insurance, or outstanding legal issues.

Nevada Law: What Should Drivers Do?

Under Nevada law, all drivers involved in an accident must:

  • Stop and provide contact and insurance info

  • Offer reasonable assistance to anyone injured

  • Report the crash to the Nevada Highway Patrol

Failure to comply can lead to felony charges, license suspension, and up to two years in prison.

Civil Compensation for Victims

Even if the hit-and-run driver isn’t identified, victims may still be able to recover damages for:

  • Medical bills & future treatment

  • Lost wages & loss of income

  • Property damage

  • Pain and suffering

  • Funeral costs in wrongful death cases

Naqvi Injury Law’s skilled attorneys and investigators work quickly to gather critical evidence like eyewitness accounts, surveillance footage, and vehicle damage patterns.

What to Do After a Hit-and-Run

  1. Do not chase the other driver—focus on your safety.

  2. Note as many details as possible: vehicle type, license plate, color, etc.

  3. Call emergency responders and get medical attention if needed.

  4. File a police report and request a copy for your records.

  5. Take photos of the damage and gather witness information.

What If the Driver Is Never Found?

You may still be covered under your uninsured motorist policy. If you’re unsure, Naqvi Injury Law can review your coverage and pursue the compensation you deserve.

You shouldn’t have to pay for someone else’s crime. Let the experienced team at Naqvi Injury Law fight for the justice and financial recovery you’re entitled to.
