Motorcycle Accidents Are Often Severe—You Deserve Strong Representation

Motorcycle crashes are rarely minor. According to the Nevada Department of Transportation, riders are far more likely to suffer serious or fatal injuries compared to car occupants. Without seat belts, airbags, or a protective vehicle frame, a single impact can result in:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Spinal cord damage or paralysis
  • Multiple fractures and severe road rash
  • Internal injuries and organ damage

Insurance companies often try to downplay motorcycle claims, assuming the rider was at fault. Our team knows how to fight back, proving liability and showing the true impact of your injuries on your life.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Crashes in Las Vegas

Las Vegas traffic is notoriously fast-paced and congested, creating dangerous conditions for motorcyclists. Some of the most common causes of crashes we see include:

1) Distracted or inattentive drivers

Texting, talking on the phone, or simply failing to look for motorcycles leads to countless collisions every year.

2) Unsafe lane changes or left-turn collisions

Drivers often misjudge the speed and distance of motorcycles, especially during left-hand turns at intersections.

3) Speeding and reckless driving

High speeds on the I-15 or Las Vegas Boulevard can leave riders with no time to react to sudden lane changes or stops.

4) Roadway hazards: debris, potholes, or poor signage

Even a small pothole can cause a rider to lose control, particularly on unfamiliar roads.

5) Drunk or impaired drivers

Driving under the influence continues to be a leading (yet sadly preventable) cause of serious motorcycle crashes.

Understanding Nevada Motorcycle Accident Law

Nevada has specific laws that impact motorcycle accident claims. Understanding these rules is critical to recovering full compensation. Our team explains your rights and builds your case around the state’s unique legal framework.

How comparative fault affects your claim

Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault for the accident—as long as you are less than 50% responsible. However, your compensation is reduced proportionately by your percentage of fault.

Is lane splitting legal in Nevada?

Unlike in some states, lane splitting—riding between lanes of traffic—is illegal in Nevada. If lane splitting is a factor in your case, insurance companies may try to use it against you. We fight to ensure your side of the story is fully represented.

Helmet laws and how they influence injury claims

Nevada law requires all motorcyclists and passengers to wear helmets that meet U.S. Department of Transportation standards. Failing to wear a helmet can affect injury claims, particularly if head injuries are involved. Our team carefully addresses these factors when building your case.

Who Is Liable in a Las Vegas Motorcycle Crash?

Determining liability can be complex, especially in multi-vehicle accidents or cases involving hazardous road conditions. As the area’s most resourceful motorcycle accident law firm, Vegas Valley Injury Law conducts thorough investigations to pinpoint every responsible party, which may include:

Passenger vehicle drivers

Car drivers who fail to check blind spots or follow traffic rules are often the primary cause of motorcycle accidents.

Commercial drivers and employers

Truck drivers and their employers can be held accountable in commercial trucking accidents if their negligent behavior led to your crash. Examples of negligent behavior include driver fatigue and improper loading.

Government entities (poor road design or maintenance)

If unsafe road conditions contributed to your accident, city or state agencies may share responsibility.

Motorcycle manufacturers (brake failure, tire blowouts, etc.)

Defective parts or mechanical failures can create product liability claims against manufacturers or repair shops.

What Compensation Can You Recover After a Motorcycle Accident?

Motorcycle accidents often result in extensive medical treatment and long-term financial difficulties. We work to secure compensation for both economic and non-economic damages, including:

motorcycle accident injury

  • Medical expenses: ER visits, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatment.
  • Future care and long-term disability: Coverage for lifelong injuries or permanent impairment.
  • Lost income and earning capacity: Wages lost during recovery and future career limitations.
  • Pain and suffering: Emotional trauma and reduced quality of life.
  • Property damage to your motorcycle: Repair or replacement costs.
  • Punitive damages: Awarded in cases of extreme negligence, such as drunk driving.

We can also consult financial and medical experts to calculate the actual cost of your injuries, ensuring your claim reflects every aspect of your losses.

What Should I Do Immediately After a Motorcycle Accident in Las Vegas?

Knowing the steps to take immediately after a motorcycle crash or a car accident can help protect your safety, health, and legal rights. Here’s what you should do:

1. Move To A Safe Location

If possible, move your motorcycle and yourself out of traffic to prevent additional collisions.

2. Seek Immediate Medical Attention

Even if you feel fine, some injuries—like concussions or internal bleeding—don’t show symptoms right away. Get checked by a medical professional.

3. Call 911 And Report The Accident

An official police report is crucial for establishing fault and accurately documenting the scene.

4. Do Not Admit Fault At The Scene

Avoid statements like “I’m sorry” or “It was my fault.” These can be misinterpreted and used against you by insurance companies.

5. Gather Evidence At The Scene

Take photos of the vehicles, road conditions, traffic signs, and your injuries. Collect contact details from witnesses, as this can later help your claim.

6. Contact a Las Vegas Motorcycle Accident Attorney

The sooner you involve a motorcycle accident lawyer in Las Vegas, the better. We can begin gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and building a case before vital details are lost.

How Long Do You Have to File a Claim in Nevada?

Under Nevada law, the statute of limitations for motorcycle accident claims is generally two years from the date of the crash. If you miss this deadline, you could lose your right to seek compensation. Certain exceptions may apply if the accident involves government entities or minors.

Our attorneys handle all the deadlines and paperwork for you, so you don’t have to worry about missing critical filing dates.

Why Motorcycle Crash Cases Require a Specialized Lawyer

Motorcycle accident claims differ significantly from standard car accident cases. Insurance companies often undervalue claims involving motorcyclists, assuming riders are “risk-takers.” A skilled Las Vegas motorcycle accident attorney can overcome this bias and present evidence that proves:

  • The other party’s negligence caused the accident.
  • The full extent of your medical and financial damages.
  • The long-term effects of your injuries on your quality of life.

Vegas Valley Injury Law has extensive experience negotiating with insurers and, when necessary, taking cases to trial to secure fair outcomes for injured riders.

Motorcycle Accident FAQs

1) What if I wasn’t wearing a helmet during the crash?

You can still file a claim, but all motorcyclists are required by Nevada law to wear a helmet. Failing to wear one may impact the compensation you receive if head injuries are involved. We work hard to minimize this impact on your case.

2) Can I still sue if I was partially at fault?

Yes. Under Nevada’s comparative negligence law, you can recover damages as long as you’re less than 50% at fault for the accident.

3) How long does a typical motorcycle accident case take?

Every case is different. Simple claims may settle in a few months, while complex cases involving severe injuries, disputes over liability, and multiple vehicle accidents may take longer. A motorcycle accident lawyer in Las Vegas will listen to the details of your story and outline how they may impact the timeline of your case.

4) Will my insurance rates go up if I sue?

No, filing a claim against another driver’s insurance company usually does not affect your own insurance rates. There are, however, some exceptions to this, including your claims history and the terms of your insurance policy. Always review your policy and consult with a personal injury attorney before taking legal action.

5) What is the #1 cause of motorcycle accidents?

Driver inattention and left-turn collisions are among the most common causes of motorcycle crashes in Las Vegas.
