Fatal Motorcycle Accidents in Nevada
There are few experiences like getting on the back of a motorcycle and cruising down the roadway. However, any experienced rider knows that the road can be a dangerous place for motorcyclists. From 2014 to 2018, there were 305 roadway deaths in 268 deadly motorcycle crashes in Nevada. Statistics show that nearly 70 percent of these accidents took place on urban streets. Clark County had the highest number of deadly motorcycle accidents in the state during that timeframe.
Our lawyers know firsthand the dangers that motorcyclists face on Nevada roadways, and riders are more likely to suffer life-threatening injuries in the event of a crash. Riders have little control over the hazards that they face on the road, and things like potholes and minor cuts in the road that are annoyances to other travelers can be much more dangerous for motorcyclists. Accident victims often have limited experience with the law, and it is advised that you work with an experienced personal injury lawyer with years of experience pursuing injury claims.
