How to Understand Your Nevada Motorcycle Accident Claim
In a perfect world, the insurance company would quickly pay your claim no questions asked after your Nevada motorcycle accident. Unfortunately, the claims process can be quite complicated.
Many Nevada insurance companies attempt to reduce their responsibility by refusing to offer you fair compensation or by disputing your claim. They do this by:
1.
Attempting to prove that you, not the other driver, were the cause of your Nevada motorcycle accident
2.
Trying to say you exaggerated how seriously you were injured.
3.
Offering you a settlement for way less than you deserve.
Our Nevada motorcycle accident lawyers understand the dangers you can face on our roadways. Because you don’t have the same amount of protection around you as other motor vehicles, you are more vulnerable to catastrophic injuries and even death if you are involved in a Nevada motorcycle accident.
Some of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents throughout Nevada are:
1. Distracted Drivers
Drivers who aren’t paying attention to the road and the traffic around them are a danger to a motorcycle rider. Every year in Nevada many motorcycle riders are killed or injured by distracted drivers.
2. Lane Changes that are Unsafe
When a motor vehicle driver changes lanes in a way that is not safe, major motorcycle accidents can happen.
3. Speeding
Any motor vehicle driving at a fast speed can cause you to be in a devastating motorcycle accident. Speeding makes it more difficult for drivers to stop, and the higher the speed the harder the impact and the more serious your injuries could be.
4. Driving Under the Influence
Drivers who are operating their motor vehicle under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol can cause you to be in a Nevada motorcycle accident that could be fatal.
5. Sudden Stops
Rear-end crashes as a result of a sudden stop can cause you to be seriously injured as a motorcycle rider.
6. Left-Turn Accidents
Many Nevada motorcycle accidents occur because a motor vehicle made a left-hand turn in front of the motorcycle rider.
7. Hazardous Road Conditions
Because your motorcycle is smaller than most other motor vehicles, this can make you more vulnerable to going out of control because of defects in Nevada roads such as potholes, debris, and uneven pavement.
