Why Hire a Reno Electric Vehicle Accident Lawyer After an Injury?
A basic car accident between traditional vehicles is enough of a complex matter. But electrical vehicles add another layer of issues. Some are notorious for dangerous vehicle defects, like:
- Batteries that start on fire or explode, either from a collision or spontaneously
- Self-driving steering complications
- Faulty airbags
- Loose parts from panels and doors
- Broken cameras
It’s likely that these defective parts have nothing to do with the owner’s maintenance of the vehicle. Rather, the vehicle manufacturer, or the manufacturer who created that specific dangerous part, could be to blame. At this point we will need to prove that this party is at fault for your injuries, and then negotiate with them to find a settlement for your financial compensation.
This is just one of thousands of potential scenarios that we may have to work through as we build your claim. Instead of attempting to do this on your own, allow Lerner and Rowe to take it from here. That way, you can focus on healing from any injuries you have experienced during your rideshare collision.
Types of Electric Vehicle Accidents We Handle at Lerner and Rowe
At Lerner and Rowe, we handle any kind of incident that may harm the driver or passengers of an electric vehicle. This may include accidents related to battery burns or broken airbags. But, we can also help victims of electric vehicle crashes injured in these wrecks:
- Collisions with untethered animals
- Multi-vehicle collisions
- T-bones
- Sideswipes
- Fender benders
- Head-on collisions
- Collisions with fixed objects
- Pileups
- Turning crashes
- Collisions with parked cars
- Single car collisions
- Angle crashes
Each of these wrecks can lead to multiple, severe injuries like Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI), broken bones, paralysis, and more. Many victims won’t be able to return to work for weeks or even months. This is where financial compensation comes in to provide restitution for these damages, and help you maintain the quality of life you had before your electric vehicle wreck.
What Causes Electric Vehicle Collisions in Reno?
Electric vehicle collisions in Reno can be caused by:
- Battery fires
- Driver inexperience or misunderstanding of how to use an EV
- Silence of the operating vehicle
- Sudden acceleration
- Sudden deceleration
- Negligent manufacturing
- Defective parts
- Poor maintenance
Moreover, the perpetrators of these causes may include the driver, manufacturer, or maintenance team for the electric car. Or, it could be the electric vehicle’s car part manufacturer, or even a rental company. Another motorist entirely could be to blame, or the government entity tasked with ensuring safe road conditions. Once we know causation, we will build your claim and fight as many insurance companies as we need to in order to help you receive financial compensation.
What is the Nevada Statute of Limitations for Electric Vehicle Wrecks?
The statute of limitations for electric vehicle wreck injuries in Nevada states that victims have only two years from the date of their collision to file a claim. Should they miss this deadline, their compensation is forfeit. That’s just one reason we suggest reaching out to an attorney sooner rather than later.
Also, insurance companies may attempt to give you a settlement offer while you still lay in your hospital bed. And so, it’s best to have legal representation lined up as soon as possible.
