Deadly Motorcycle Accidents in Nevada
Riding a motorcycle on the open road is an experience unlike anything else. Unfortunately, it also comes with a number of risks. Motorcycles are involved in a large number of traffic fatalities nationwide, and these crashes are significantly more likely to result in serious injuries. Roughly 80 percent of motorcycle accidents result in fatalities or serious injuries, according to data. In the previous four years, 305 motorcycle deaths were reported in Nevada. Nearly 70 percent of these fatalities happened in urban areas. In Nevada, there are a lot of deadly motorcycle accidents in Clark County. With the assistance of an experienced personal injury attorney in Nevada, you must be able to defend your legal rights in order to pursue compensation after a fatal collision.
We are aware of the damage that motorcycle accidents may create because our attorneys have handled a great deal of cases involving these types of crashes in the past. Most motorcycle accidents involve other cars, and accidents caused by careless drivers can be fatal. When riding a motorcycle, those who do not have protective gear on are more likely to sustain severe injuries. The fact that motorcyclists are significantly less protected than occupants of passenger cars adds to the high number of motorcycle fatalities.
