Valet parking is a standard convenience at casinos and luxury hotels all over Las Vegas. Most visitors hand over their keys without a second thought, but accidents involving valet drivers do happen.
A valet may damage a guest's vehicle, collide with another car, or strike a pedestrian while moving cars through a crowded, high-traffic area. Sorting out liability in these situations is often more complicated than in an ordinary crash.
Depending on the circumstances, the valet company, the property owner, or a third-party contractor may bear responsibility. Insurance coverage can also turn on who actually employed the driver at the time of the accident.
If you are involved in a valet-related accident, document what happened carefully and ask the property for a written report.
Understanding how liability works in valet parking accidents helps injured people and vehicle owners protect themselves financially.
