The remaining 17.3 percent of bicycle accidents take place in Carson City, Nye County, and Washoe County. According to statistics, men over the age of 20 account for over 84 percent of bicycle-related fatalities, and nearly 75 percent of these crashes occur in urban areas. If you or someone close to you is hurt in a bicycle accident, you may be able to pursue a claim for compensation with the help of a trained lawyer.
