According to ReviewJournal.com, “[a] bus driver was arrested on suspicion of impaired driving after a woman was struck and killed Thursday morning [February 14] near the Las Vegas Strip.”  Fox5vegas.com is reporting “[t]he pedestrian, a 59-year-old woman was crossing…at 3325 South Las Vegas Boulevard near a marked crosswalk…[when] [t]he bus, heading north, hit the woman on her left side and drove over her.”  The news outlet reports “[t]he woman was taken to Sunrise hospital where she died from her injuries.”  According to the Review-Journal story, the bus driver “was arrested after being suspected of impairment” and “faces a charge of driving under the influence resulting in death.”  A subsequent update by ReviewJournal.com has identified the victim as “Las Vegas resident Pamela Lewis, 59.”

The accident remains under investigation per media reports.

Our Legal Take

As the details of this incident continue to develop, and if the driver of the bus is confirmed to be at fault, the family of Pamela Lewis may elect to file civil a claim for her wrongful death.  Based upon its experience and success handling pedestrian claims, The Murray Law Firm suggests that Ms. Lewis’ family should retain an experienced personal injury firm without delay to protect their interests and ensure an unbiased investigation. Photographs of the roadways involved and a review of surveillance footage from nearby businesses or properties will need to be performed immediately before any evidence is damaged or destroyed.
