This Nevada personal injury lawsuit was filed in 2012 in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada, and it was assigned to Department Number II. The matter was given a case number of A-12-670444-C and it was filed after the defendant that was named in the lawsuit allegedly caused a Nevada car accident because she was driving with alcohol in her system. The case sought damages that compensated the plaintiff for several different injuries that she sustained as a result of the accident.

Specifically, the court documents alleged that the plaintiff was driving her vehicle in Clark County, Nevada when she was suddenly rear-ended by a vehicle being driven by the defendant. The plaintiff suffered severe back injuries as a result of the crash that required extensive medical treatment and caused her to miss time at work. The defendant, the court documents state, was subsequently arrested on suspicion of DUI.
