Get out of the roadway if possible and call for emergency help. A Reno Police Department report documents the scene and the driver’s information.
If able, photograph the vehicle, license plate, location, traffic signals, and crosswalk markings. Ask witnesses for contact information.
Allow paramedics to take you to Renown Regional Medical Center or Saint Mary’s trauma center. Pedestrian injuries are often more severe than they initially appear.
Drivers and their insurers often try to blame pedestrians. Phoong Law protects your rights and pursues maximum compensation.
Reno has active pedestrian areas including downtown near the Reno Arch, the Riverwalk District along the Truckee River, Midtown, the University of Nevada Reno campus, and areas surrounding the casinos and convention center. However, pedestrians face real dangers at busy intersections, along high speed corridors, and in areas where casino visitors cross busy streets.
Speeding, distracted driving, and failure to yield at crosswalks are leading causes of pedestrian accidents in Reno. Nevada law gives pedestrians the right of way in marked crosswalks, and drivers have a duty to exercise due care to avoid hitting pedestrians. Phoong Law helps Reno pedestrians hold negligent drivers accountable.
Pedestrian accident injuries are often catastrophic because there is no barrier between the person and the vehicle. Nevada law allows full compensation for all injuries and losses caused by a negligent driver.

Pedestrians have the right of way in marked crosswalks. However, pedestrians must also exercise due care. Even if you were partially at fault, Nevada’s comparative negligence law allows recovery as long as you are not more than 50 percent at fault.
Even if you were not in a crosswalk, you may still recover compensation. Nevada drivers have a duty to exercise due care to avoid hitting pedestrians regardless of where they are walking.
Contact police immediately to file a hit and run report. We can pursue claims through your uninsured motorist coverage and work to identify the driver through surveillance footage.
Nevada’s statute of limitations is two years from the date of the accident. Contact an attorney promptly to preserve evidence.
Yes. While crosswalks provide the strongest legal position, drivers have a general duty to watch for pedestrians. Comparative negligence allows recovery as long as your fault does not exceed 50 percent.
