Fatal Motorcycle Accidents in Nevada

Every year, around 50 motorcyclists lose their lives in motor vehicle accidents across the state of Nevada. The fact that riders are less protected in the event of collisions means they are more likely to sustain severe and fatal injuries in accidents. This is particularly true in cases where riders are involved in collisions with SUVs and other large vehicles. We continue to see a significant number of people lose their lives in motor vehicle accidents across our state due to drivers who are impaired, engaging in reckless driving behaviors, failed to yield the right-of-way to others, and are distracted while operating their vehicles.

When victims lose their lives in accidents due to these and other acts of negligence, their families may have legal options available to help them move forward. Families should reach out to a competent and trustworthy wrongful death attorney in Nevada as soon as possible. Retaining the assistance of a competent legal team can help to ensure your family is in the best position possible to hold negligent actors accountable and recover.
