Intersections are some of the busiest and most unpredictable parts of Las Vegas roads. Multiple vehicles are moving in different directions, drivers are making turns, pedestrians may be crossing, and everyone is relying on others to follow the rules. When even one person gets it wrong, a crash can happen quickly.
Some of the most common intersection collisions start with a driver turning across traffic, failing to yield, running a red light, or pulling into an intersection without enough time or space. Because vehicles are crossing paths rather than moving in the same direction, these crashes often result in hard side-impact collisions.
Distraction and speeding make the problem worse. A driver looking at a phone or trying to beat a light has less time to react when conditions change. After an intersection crash, the key questions are usually straightforward: who had the right of way, who failed to follow the rules, and how the collision unfolded.
Those answers often determine who is responsible for the injuries that follow.

Not every intersection crash happens the same way. The point of impact, the vehicles involved, and the driver’s actions can all change the type of injuries and the questions that need to be answered.
Common intersection crashes include:
Whatever the type, the question is the same: who had the right of way? That is what we set out to prove.
Intersection crashes can quickly turn into a disagreement over who had the right of way. One driver may say they had the green light, while the other tells a different story. That is why collecting the right evidence early matters.
We review the police report, look for traffic camera and business surveillance footage, and speak with witnesses who saw the crash. We also examine details from the scene, including vehicle damage and the positions of the vehicles after impact.
When needed, accident reconstruction experts can help explain the timing, angles, and movement involved in the collision. With Gina Corena’s background in insurance defense, our team understands how insurers may try to shift blame and prepares the evidence to challenge those arguments.
Intersection crashes often involve questions about who had the right of way, what each driver did before impact, and whether the insurance company is telling the full story. An attorney can handle the investigation, gather the evidence, deal with the insurer, and help build a claim based on the facts.
We look at the details that matter, including the cause of the crash, the extent of your injuries, and the losses that followed. If a fair resolution cannot be reached, we are prepared to take the next steps.

Intersections remain among the most dangerous areas on Nevada roads. From 2019 to 2023, Nevada recorded 573 intersection crash fatalities and 542 fatal intersection crashes, showing how serious these collisions can become. Across the country, the Federal Highway Administration reports that intersections account for roughly one-quarter of traffic fatalities and about half of all traffic injuries.
These numbers reflect why intersection crashes often require a closer look at what happened. Traffic signals, right-of-way rules, turning decisions, and driver actions all play a role in determining fault. Nevada crash data from the Department of Transportation helps track where serious crashes occur and identify safety concerns across the state.
Every car accident claim starts with understanding what happened and what options are available. The first step is a free consultation, during which we review the crash, your injuries, and any details that may affect your claim.
Next, we investigate the accident and gather evidence, including reports, records, and other information that helps build your case. As you receive treatment, we document your medical care, expenses, lost income, and other damages connected to the crash.
Once the full impact of your injuries is clear, we prepare a demand and negotiate with the insurance company. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, the case may proceed to trial, where we will continue pursuing the compensation you may be owed.
The experience of our attorneys ranges from insurance and commercial law to personal injury and other areas which give our team an unmatched ability to reach a favorable outcome in your case. We handle each matter with accountability and responsiveness, as if we were representing ourselves.
Usually the driver who entered without the right of way, by running a red light (NRS 484B.307), ignoring a stop sign, or turning left across traffic (NRS 484B.253). Camera footage and witnesses help prove it.
You may have a strong claim. Drivers must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and watch for motorcyclists when turning, and a driver who fails to do so can be held responsible.
In most cases, Nevada gives you two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim under NRS 11.190.
Blame does not automatically stop your claim. Under NRS 41.141, you can still recover if you are 50% or less responsible, with the amount adjusted based on fault.
You pay nothing upfront. We handle injury cases on a contingency basis, so there is no fee unless we recover compensation for you.
