Motorcycle Accidents in Nevada
Riding a motorcycle is an exhilarating experience, but seasoned riders know the dangers before they take to the open road. According to recent four-year research conducted in Nevada, motorcyclists were involved in more than 19 percent of traffic fatalities. There were a total of 306 motorcycle fatalities during that time. Motorcyclists are disproportionately involved in fatal crashes around the country. Approximately 80 percent of motorcycle accidents result in fatalities or serious injuries. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that in a recent year, there were 8,4,000 motorcycle injuries and 5,014 motorcycle fatalities. After a significant collision, recovery could be challenging. When pursuing a claim for compensation, it is always in your best interest to deal with an experienced attorney.
Riding a motorcycle on the open road carries a lot of risk. Riders are not completely shielded from the full force of a traffic accident, even if they are wearing all of the necessary safety equipment. In an accident, riders run the danger of being thrown off their bikes and suffering serious injuries. This is only one of the several causes of motorcycle riders being killed in collisions.
