Unfortunately, riders are exposed to the dangers of the road, and statistics show that nearly 80 percent of motorcycle accidents in in death or serious injury. A recent four-year study found that there were 305 motorcycle fatalities reported in Nevada during that time, with almost 70 percent of these crashes taking place on city streets. Las Vegas was the site of the majority of these deadly accidents. Despite what some may claim, the majority of motorcycle crashes are caused by the actions of other motorists. You need to be sure to make sure that you are able to secure fair compensation if you lose someone close to you in an unexpected motorcycle accident.
