Motorcycle Accidents in Nevada
There is no feeling like riding a motorcycle, but any experienced rider knows the risks involved in riding a bike. According to a recent four-year research conducted in Nevada, motorcycles were involved in nearly 19 percent of traffic fatalities. There were a total of 306 fatalities from these collisions. Motorcycle riders are disproportionately involved in fatal collisions across the country. Around 80 percent of motorcycle crashes result in fatalities or serious injuries. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that 84,000 motorcycle injuries and 5,014 motorcycle fatalities took place in a recent year.
Motorcycle riders are exposed to significant danger on the road. They are not completely shielded from the full force of a crash, even if they wear all the necessary safety gear. Because of the structure and construction of bikes, riders run the risk of being thrown from the vehicle in an accident and suffering catastrophic injuries. This is just one of the several causes of motorcycle riders' regular involvement in tragic roadway accidents. If you or a loved one is injured in a serious motorcycle accident, you need to be ready.
