Protecting the Personal Injury Rights of Motorcyclists in Nevada

If you were involved in a motorcycle accident in Nevada, call our office before you talk to the insurance company to make sure your rights are protected. If you accept a settlement offer before you have had a chance to realize the extent of your injuries, the long-term care that may be needed, and the financial burdens that are coming your way, you could end up paying out of pocket for an accident you didn’t cause. And since motorcycle accident injuries are typically severe, those costs could follow you for the rest of your life.

Call the Van Law Firm at 725-900-9000. Your consultation is free and you won’t pay any fees unless we win.

Motorcyclists Are Susceptible to Severe Injuries

In a crash, motorcycle drivers and riders are especially vulnerable to severe injuries. Because motorcycles don’t offer the protection that cars and trucks offer, the only thing between bikers and the road (or other vehicles) is usually a helmet or leathers. At high rates of speed, or when motorcyclists collide with larger vehicles, broken bones, spine injuries, and traumatic brain injuries are common. These injuries can impact your life permanently. It’s not uncommon for injured bikers to require in-home assistance, multiple surgeries, and medical treatment for the rest of their lives. For the lucky ones, a return to work might only be weeks, or months away. For those who aren’t so lucky, however, they may never work again.

When the medical bills start piling up and there is no income or additional financial relief in sight, that insurance settlement the responsible party was so quick to offer won’t seem so impressive. Don’t let the insurance company pressure you into accepting a quick settlement that may take away your right to recover full compensation.

Who Is to Blame for Your Motorcycle Accident?

While liability in some motorcycle accident cases is pretty cut and dry, that isn’t always the case. Sometimes, multiple entities may be liable for damages. And in some situations, you may not even realize that another party is to blame. Common scenarios include:

If malfunctioning equipment on your motorcycle contributed to your crash, you may be able to hold the bike manufacturer, the parts maker, and even the retail establishment where you purchased your bike liable.
If dangerous road conditions like potholes, loose gravel, a damaged road sign, a malfunctioning traffic light, or a cracked roadway caused your accident, the property owner or government agency that owns or controls the road or parking lot may be liable.
If you were hit by a commercial vehicle like a large truck or delivery van, the company that the driver works for can be held liable for damages.

It’s common for at-fault drivers to point fingers at injured bikers when accidents happen. Even if you think you caused your crash, don’t admit fault. If an investigation reveals that another party caused the wreck, your admission can be used against you in court. In fact, it’s best to talk to a motorcycle injury lawyer before you discuss your accident with the other party, the insurance company, or anyone else.

No obligation consultations are always free.

Client Testimonials

These guys are amazing. Helped me throughout the process. Always there when I need help. Inititailly called a law firm (the one that has lots of ads on the radio), but they declined my case. Van Law Firm accepted my case without a second thought! Kudos to Daniel, my case manager, and Amanda who expedited my payment process. Highly recommended.

Milby Mags

Got in an accident at the beginning of the year and they have been awesome, especially with it being my first accident and me being like this. They have been very communicated, stayed in contact with me the whole time, giving me updates when there were any and even when there weren’t and answered any question I had. I would recommend them to anyone. Everyone I have talked to there has been very friendly. I would give them a 10 out of 10.

Ethan Gullet

They made sure that my insurance company covered what I paid for them to which included the gap for my car that was totaled. My medical costs were taken care of and reduced substantially so I was able to get more on my settlement. My case manager, Will Garcia, was always helpful in assisting me and answering any questions I had. They really did an amazing job with my case. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of this type of legal help. Most lawyers do not help you with the recovery of the car and rental etc. They are amazing.
