Deadly Motorcycle Accidents in Nevada
Riding a motorcycle can be a wonderful feeling, but all experienced riders know that it does not come without risk. Motorcycle accidents are over-represented in national roadway fatalities. Statistics show that nearly 80 percent of motorcycle crashes end in death or injury. The number of motorcycle deaths in Nevada has climbed by nearly 32 percent since 2020. Clark County was the site of the majority of deadly motorcycle accidents reported in the state. Even when riders wear the appropriate safety gear, they are still much more likely to suffer life-threatening injuries in the event of a vehicle collision.
What you do or fail to do after a crash can have an impact on the rest of your life.
