Even when another driver disputes whether the police should be called, there are times when you should call no matter what. These include: Cars involved in accident are blocking traffic Damage to surrounding property including cars, buildings, etc. Any drivers, passengers, or pedestrians suffered an injury Any sign an involved vehicle could catch fire (fluid leaking, smoking, etc.)

You should use caution when discussing the accident with the police. Provide your name, registration, insurance information when asked. Be cautious not to accept any fault for the accident. Law enforcement will likely take witness statements, which you can get access to after the report is filed. In many cases, the police will determine at the scene who was at fault for the accident and issue the appropriate citations (speeding, failure to yield, etc.). However, do not assume this is the case.

Other types of car accidents that we see most often in Las Vegas include: T-bone accidents Sideswipe accidents Single-car collisions Rear-end collisions Intersection accidents Head-on collisions Wrong-way driving accidents Run-off-the road collisions Multi-vehicle crashes

Accidents involving uninsured motorists can be complicated. The state of Nevada does not require drivers to purchase uninsured motorist coverage. If you opted out of this coverage as part of your auto insurance policy, then you may find it more difficult to pursue compensation for your claim. However, you may still have the option of pursuing civil action against an uninsured motorist. There may also be other parties to share blame for your injuries. Your best option is to contact an attorney to further explore your options when you have been involved in a collision with an uninsured motorist.
