What Are the DUI Laws In Nevada?

A driver with a BAC of .08% or higher is considered to be driving while impaired. For a commercial driver, the limit is .04%, and for drivers under the age of 21, it is .02% under the state’s “zero tolerance” laws. A driver with a BAC below the per se limit can still be arrested for DUI if the police officer observes that the person’s driving was impaired. DUI can also be charged if a driver’s blood reveals the presence of any quantity of an illegal drug.

Damages in a Las Vegas DUI Accident Claim

If you have been hurt in a DUI crash, you may be entitled to recover compensation for your injuries. Depending on the particular circumstances of your case, compensatory damages you may be able to claim may include:

• Past and future medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Property damage
• Loss of earning potential
• Pain and suffering
• Disfigurement
• Loss of enjoyment of life

In Nevada, you are also entitled to pursue punitive damages if the driver who caused your accident and injuries was DUI. These damages go above and beyond compensation to punish the drunk driver for egregious wrongdoing. Punitive damages are allowed in DUI accident claims because driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unlawful, and such accidents should never occur.
