Las Vegas Nevada Bicycle Injury Attorney
A hit-and-run bicycle accident or pedestrian accident presents special difficulties when it comes to collecting compensation for the injured bicyclist or pedestrian.
A Prompt Investigation is Important
Ideally, the police or private investigators will make a concerted effort to track down the guilty motorist who fled the scene of an accident after hitting a bicycle or pedestrian. Sometimes these efforts are successful — for example, when paint residue on the fleeing vehicle matches paint chipped off the bicycle.

Other times, the other vehicle remains a mystery. It is possible that the driver of the car or truck that hit the injured person was not even aware of that fact. Or the vehicle may not have even made contact with the bicycle, but rather, simply crowded it off the road.
Will There Be Criminal Charges? How Might That Impact Your Case?
If the other driver is found, there may be criminal proceedings which could have an impact on the outcome of a civil claim for damages. If the driver had recently left the Las Vegas strip shortly before the accident, testimony from bars or restaurants where the person consumed alcohol may lend evidence to a plausible theory that drunk driving was a factor. This fact and all other details about the accident should be reviewed by an experienced personal injury attorney.
If the other driver is not found, compensation for injuries and losses to the pedestrian or bicyclist may be available from sources such as these:
- The injured person's auto insurance, if any.
- Auto insurance of anyone whom the injured person lives with.
- Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
- Umbrella policies belonging to the injured person or someone that he or she lives with.
