Getting hit by an uninsured driver in Henderson or Las Vegas creates a mess fast. Medical bills pile up, your car needs repairs, and the person who caused the crash doesn’t have a policy to pay for the damage. But here’s the truth — you still have options, and you’re not powerless. At Rex Law, we hold negligent drivers accountable and make sure our clients don’t get stuck footing the bill.

Secure the Scene and Protect Your Claim

After the impact, check for injuries and call 911 immediately. In Nevada, the police report is one of the strongest pieces of evidence you’ll have. Get the uninsured driver’s information, take photos of the vehicles, road conditions, skid marks, and injuries, and gather witness details. The more proof you have, the harder it is for anyone — including insurance companies — to challenge your claim.

Your Insurance May Step In

Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage is critical in Nevada, and many drivers have it without realizing it. This coverage can pay for medical care, lost income, and sometimes property damage when the at-fault driver has no insurance. Collision coverage may also help with repairs, and medical payments coverage can kick in regardless of fault. If your insurer tries to lowball you, we step in and push back — hard.

When Insurance Isn’t Enough

If your policy doesn’t cover everything, legal action may be the next step. Suing an uninsured driver doesn’t always result in full recovery — many don’t have the assets to pay a judgment. That’s why you want a legal team that knows how to investigate every angle, track down assets, and explore all available compensation avenues. We don’t leave money sitting on the table.

If It Was a Hit-and-Run

Hit-and-run crashes across Henderson, Las Vegas, Spring Valley, and the rest of Clark County are treated similarly to uninsured driver cases. Uninsured motorist coverage usually applies. File a police report immediately and gather every detail you can remember. Insurance companies will challenge these cases aggressively — and we challenge them right back.

Why Having the Right Legal Team Matters

You’re dealing with pain, financial stress, and a driver who didn’t even have the decency to carry insurance. Our job is to make this process easier and to fight for every dollar you’re owed. We analyze your policy, handle the insurance company, and build a case that forces accountability. You focus on healing — we handle the rest.
