Getting your North Las Vegas collision report
For crashes inside city limits, the North Las Vegas Police Department sells accident reports online through LexisNexis BuyCrash, linked from its Police Records page:
- The page does not list a separate fee or waiting period for accident reports. It lists other police reports at $5 per report.
- For police reports requested by mail, the department asks for a copy of your identification, a notarized letter with the case number, a self-addressed stamped envelope and all fees. Personal checks are not accepted.
If the Nevada Highway Patrol investigated the crash, its report is requested through the NHP crash report request page using the NHP crash number, the last name of a person involved and the crash date. NHP charges $10 per report and says reports are available 7 to 14 days after the crash. Its Southern Command office is at 6830 Bermuda Road, Las Vegas, (702) 668-4100.
Major roads in North Las Vegas
According to the specific planning areas chapter of the city’s Comprehensive Plan (2006), the I-15 interchange at Lake Mead Boulevard serves as a major gateway into the community, and Lake Mead and North Las Vegas Boulevards are major thoroughfares. The plan also refers to commercial corridors along Craig Road and Ann Road, an employment district along Cheyenne west of I-15, and areas north of the Clark County 215 Beltway.
Nevada’s Office of Traffic Safety reports 235 traffic deaths in Clark County in 2025, down from 296 in 2024, in its statewide fatal crash report. The report notes that these figures are not final until the federal Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) release.

How a North Las Vegas personal injury case usually moves
- Free consultation. You tell us what happened and we explain your options. There is no attorney fee unless we recover compensation for you.
- Investigation. We gather the collision or incident report described above, photos, witness information and your medical records.
- Claim and negotiation. We present the claim to the insurance company and negotiate for a fair settlement.
- Government claim if needed. If the City of North Las Vegas or another public agency may share responsibility, we prepare and file the claim within Nevada’s two-year deadline.
- Lawsuit if needed. If the case does not settle, we file a lawsuit in the proper Nevada court and keep pushing toward trial.
Deadlines and fault rules that apply to Nevada injury claims
- Two years to file a lawsuit. Nevada generally allows two years to bring an action for injuries to a person or for a death caused by the wrongful act or neglect of another (NRS 11.190(4)(e)).
- Two years for claims against a local government. A tort claim against a Nevada political subdivision, such as a city or county, must be filed with its governing body within two years after the cause of action accrues (NRS 41.036). Filing that claim is not a condition precedent to bringing a lawsuit, but the lawsuit itself is still subject to the two-year limit. Damages in these cases are generally capped at $200,000 per claimant, and punitive damages are not allowed (NRS 41.035).
- Partly at fault does not automatically mean no recovery. Under Nevada’s comparative negligence rule, your own negligence does not bar recovery if it was not greater than the negligence of the parties you are suing (NRS 41.141). The jury finds the total damages and the percentage of negligence attributable to each party.
