DUI Accident in Las Vegas, NV Ignites Fear in Local Residents

Drunk driving needlessly takes the lives of Las Vegans and our visitors every year.  In July of 2018, an impaired driver got behind the wheel and fatally injured an innocent man who was simply waiting for a bus.

After driving up onto the sidewalk and hitting a light pole, the intoxicated driver smashed into an occupied bus stop, stiking a man sitting there, who later died from his injuries. At Carter Cullen, our attorneys will not tolerate the reckless behavior of people who make the decision to drink and drive or the suffering they cause while drunk-driving.  We have successfully represented DUI victims and their families in Las Vegas for decades.
