Motorcycle Accidents in Nevada
Riding a motorcycle can be an amazing and thrilling experience, but there are always risks involved. A total of 305 recorded deaths in Nevada were caused by 268 motorcycle accidents over a recent four-year period. Over 70 percent of motorcycle accidents in the state were on city streets. Clark County has historically had the highest rate of fatal motorcycle accidents in Nevada. Motorcycle riders are nearly 28 times more likely to die in a crash compared to someone riding in a passenger car, with fatalities and serious injuries making up nearly 80 percent of all motorcycle crashes in the country. Due to their lack of protection on the road, motorcycle riders are significantly more likely to suffer from long-term injuries and property damage in an accident. This makes working with an attorney to pursue a compensation claim even more important.
Many drivers fail to look out for others on the road, whether it be other motorists, pedestrians, or motorcyclists. Motorcycle riders are at greater risk of suffering life-changing injuries in the event of a rash. Motorcyclists hurt in collisions frequently face rising medical costs, lost wages, and a never-ending battle to make ends meet. It can seem that your life will never be the same, and it is always in your best interests to fight to protect your legal rights. To optimize your recovery during this difficult time, make sure you can speak with a competent attorney if you or a loved one is injured in a motorcycle accident.
