Deadly Motorcycle Accidents in Nevada
Our lawyers understand that there is no feeling quite like getting on the back of a motorcycle. Unfortunately, motorcycles can leave riders greatly exposed to the threats of the road. This is why a large number of national roadway fatalities involve motorcycles. In fact, nearly 80 percent of motorcycle accidents end in death or injury. There were 305 motorcycle deaths reported across the state of Nevada in a recent four-year period. Almost 70 of these motorcycle fatalities took place on city streets. Clark County is the site of the majority of these fatal crashes. It is important that you are able to protect your legal rights with the help of a skilled Nevada personal injury lawyer in order to pursue a claim for compensation after a deadly collision.
Our lawyers have handled many motorcycle injury claims in the past, and we know how devastating these types of collisions can be. The majority of motorcycle accidents involve other vehicles, and when drivers fail to look out for riders, they can cause life-changing auto accidents. It is common for motorcyclists to suffer fatal injuries due to the exposed nature of the rider. There is not the same level of protection offered compared to those in motor vehicles, and riders are often killed in the event of a crash.
