The small town of McGill is a census-designated place in White Pine County, Nevada.
The community, once known as Smelter after its mining operations, has a long history as a ranch community. Named for William McGill, one of the original settlers in the area, the town was long known as a ranching community, before being bitten by the mining bug.
Like many towns in eastern Nevada, McGill is a very small community, measuring roughly 1.1 square miles in size, with a population of roughly 1,150 people. Situated along Route 93, the community is located far from the urban sprawls of Las Vegas, Reno and Salt Lake City.
Although it is nestled away from many of the state’s high traffic areas, like any community it faces risks to those populating its streets and sidewalks.
Nevada is no stranger to pedestrian accidents. For the period between 2000 and 2009, Las Vegas, the state’s tourist epicenter, ranked as the sixth most dangerous metro area for pedestrians. In 2012, pedestrian incidents in the city increased a whopping 61 percent, due in large part to the city’s heavy foot and automobile traffic.

If you or someone you know has been a victim in a pedestrian accident, the first step in the process is filing a formal police report. After that, you may require the assistance of a personal injury attorney to recover any damages that you may be owed, as a result of your incident.
