Motorcycle Accidents in Nevada
Riding a motorcycle is an exhilarating experience, but experienced riders know the dangers before they take to the open road. According to a recent four-year research conducted in Nevada, motorcyclists were involved in more than 19 percent of traffic fatalities. There were a total of 306 fatalities from these crashes. Motorcyclists are disproportionately involved in fatal crashes around the country. Approximately 80 percent of motorcycle accidents result in fatalities or serious injuries. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that in a recent year, there were 84,000 motorcycle injuries and 5,014 motorcycle fatalities. After a significant collision, recovery could be challenging. It is always in your best interest to deal with an experienced attorney to pursue a case with the help of a skilled lawyer.
