What Makes a Motorcycle Accident Different From a Car Accident Case in Las Vegas, Nevada?


When a motorcycle rider is involved in an accident on our Las Vegas roadways, serious injuries or fatalities often result. Motorcycle accidents are different from car accidents in Las Vegas, Nevada  and present with special issues. Without the protection of the interior of a car, it is just the rider and the road in a motorcycle accident.

If a motorcycle rider is lucky enough to walk away from the accident, their body may have suffered internal damage, which they are unaware of immediately after the accident.  Immediately after a motorcycle accident, the first feeling experienced is usually shock. It is important to get immediate medical attention, given the high potential for internal injuries after a motorcycle accident.

Hiring an experienced motorcycle injury attorney is also important. If it is safe and you are physically able, it is important for you or someone you have called immediately after the accident, to take photographs of the accident scene. These photos will document the position of your motorcycle and any other vehicles involved in the accident. Many motorcycle riders in the Las Vegas Valley have previous military service and are currently actively employed in the construction industry. Therefore, your job may be physically demanding. While you recover from your injuries after a motorcycle accident, you will more than likely have lost money by not being able to work. Your motorcycle accident lawyer will make sure that you are compensated for your loss of income after an accident.

Research also shows that impairment increases significantly when marijuana use is combined with alcohol. Studies have found that many drivers test positive for alcohol and THC, making it clear that drinking and drugged driving are often linked behaviors.” All 50 states and the District of Columbia have laws ...
