Las Vegas Insurance Requirements for Motorcyclists
The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles makes it clear that any motorcyclist in the state that rides without the mandated minimum insurance requirements under state law should not be on the road. Current coverage limits are as follows:
$25,000 bodily injury or death coverage for a single individual in any one accident
$50,000 bodily injury or death coverage for any one accident for two people or more
In addition to these basic coverages, motorcycle riders are encouraged to carry additional insurance since any injuries or losses they experience will be significantly more serious than an average auto accident. Supplemental policies can ensure that your injuries and damages are adequately covered, including instances of:
Severe road rash
Head trauma
Spine and skull fractures
Broken limbs
Sprained joints
Musculoskeletal injuries like whiplash
Facial disfigurement
Burns
Bodily trauma from being thrown off your motorcycle
