New LVMPD Accident Procedure Takes Effect March 3, 2014

Starting today, drivers in the Las Vegas Valley could be on their own after a car accident. A new Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department LVMPD traffic accident procedure states that LVMPD will only respond to the follow types of car accidents within their areas of patrol:

• Hit and runs;
• DUI / DWI;
• Disabled vehicles resulting from an accident;
• Accidents with injuries or a fatality;
• Drivers without a license, proof of insurance, or registration;
• Uncooperative drivers; and
• Other disturbances that merit a police response.

According to a recent press release shared by LVMPD, those who are involved in a Las Vegas car accident should call 911 to have their situation assessed. If there are no injuries, people will be asked to collect and exchange information on their own.

Concerns have been raised that this move toward people policing their own actions and "doing the right thing" can result in exaggerated or understated accident claims, and inaccurate reporting.

For example, soft tissue injuries are not visible and do not always cause immediate pain. If you or a loved one is in an accident, suffer an injury, and do not collect the correct accident data, you could end up reducing your chances of seeking out and winning compensation for your injuries.
