Fatal Motorcycle Accidents in Nevada
Riding a motorcycle is an exhilarating experience, but as any motorcyclist knows, hitting the open road on the back of a bike is far from safe. According to a recent four-year research done in Nevada, motorcycles were involved in 306 traffic deaths, making up roughly 19 percent of the state's fatal crashes. Sadly, fatal motorcycle accidents occur almost daily in Nevada. Roughly 80 percent of these crashes result in fatalities or serious injuries, and motorcycle riders are approximately 28 times more likely to die in a crash. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that there were 84,000 motorcycle injuries and 5,014 motorcycle fatalities in a recent year.
