The data is clear: Motorcyclists face risks that drivers in a motor vehicle do not. From 2013 to 2022, Nevada motorcycle accidents made up 20% of fatalities. A second of driver negligence or an unseen pothole is all it takes for bikers to become motorcycle accident victims.

Not every accident requires an attorney. However, if the accident resulted in injuries or significant property damage, it is a good idea to contact a lawyer. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you navigate the claims process, which can be lengthy and complex.
Your attorney will build your case, keep track of your medical records, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court if necessary. Studies have shown that accident victims who hire a personal injury lawyer can receive settlements up to 3.5 times larger than if they settled on their own.
The best way to know if you have a case is to speak with an attorney. The Advocates offer free consultations—you can speak with a qualified legal team to understand what your case is worth without paying a dime. Once you have decided to hire an Advocate, we will investigate your accident to firmly establish liability.
Every personal injury case is different. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to accident claims. The length of the claims process will depend on the severity of your injuries, the willingness of the other party to settle, the court’s caseload, and more.
In general, personal injury cases can take anywhere from several months to a few years. It is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible to get your case started. Each state has a statute of limitations for personal injury cases, after which you will lose your right of action.
When you hire The Advocates, we will begin investigating your accident immediately while you finish medical treatment. Once all evidence and medical records have been compiled, your attorney will send a demand letter to the other party’s insurance company. At this point, negotiations will begin.
In many cases, a settlement can be reached during negotiations. If the other party refuses to make a fair offer, you may choose to file a suit. In the litigation phase, your attorney will represent you in court in front of a judge, jury, and/or arbitrator.
For nearly 30 years, The Advocates have helped thousands of personal injury victims receive fair compensation and care they deserve after their accidents, and we are prepared to do the same for you.

I was in an accident 3 years ago and had a very bad experience with the attorney back then I was in another accident last year and called the advocates mark and his team were amazing changed my view on accident attorneys they kept I'm touch with me every step of the way gave me authority on choices for myself I didn't have to go with what they said I could go against it and they still would have worked with me the same I had choices this time around I would always go with Mark I have even sent friends his way just cause I appreciate all the help and support the whole way threw.
My experience with the advocates was a good one. After being hit by a car on my motorcycle they helped me with a settlement with the insurance company to get the hospital bills paid. They were extremely helpful. They always answered any questions I had with in a day. Every email I sent was always responded to. If you unfortunately has to go through a injury by another person I would recommend them in helping you resolve any debt you have because if that injury. The Advocates were great to work with and help me get this unfortunate event behind me.
Steve and his crew at The Advocates were nothing short for amazing. They took my case after I was rear-ended resulting in neck surgery. Steve and company made sure all of the was taken care of and that I got the maximum compensation possible. I definitely recommend The Advocates
Mr. Brad Johnson, our lawyer; was Awesome! He was very informative, kept us up to date on my case with regular calls. He returned calls back to us within 24 hours or less. Brad Johnson is very courteous, honest, kind, and a pleasure to talk to and work with. There are very few Lawyers out there that could even come close to the high morals that Brad Johnson has and has shown towards us. We need more lawyers like Brad Johnson . If we ever needed a disability lawyer again in the future; it would be Brad Johnson and The Advocates Firm that he works at.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration put out a visualization breaking down motorcycle crash data. The data paints a telling picture of motorcycle crashes in Nevada.
There is no doubt that motorcyclists often face much more serious injuries than motorists. Even if you have nothing more than road rash, you should still file a personal injury claim. All motorcycle accident injuries deserve compensation.
Here are the common injuries bikers have:
The roadways of Las Vegas are a constant flurry of traffic. Most of the crashes are car accidents. When a motorcycle is involved, there are repeat reasons why the wreck occurs. Here are the most common ones:
The Nevada Rider Motorcyclist Safety Program is a fantastic way for every rider in the state to learn the ins and outs of their bike and how to ride around passenger vehicles. Before beginning the class, you must first respect the helmet laws and always have head protection.
There are three classes: the basic rider course, which lasts two days, the experienced rider course, and the advanced rider course, both of which last a day.
After you finish the course matching your skill level, check out their list of places to ride in Nevada. It contains all the most beautiful journeys in the state.
In Nevada, in most circumstances, you generally have two years from the date of the motorcycle accident to resolve a personal injury claim for negligence or file a lawsuit swiftly. The more time that passes, the more difficult it may be for your legal team to gather the necessary evidence to support your case.
Speak with an Advocate attorney to determine the exact timeframe for your case’s statute of limitations.
Determining fault in Nevada requires a thorough investigation and application of the state’s comparative negligence laws. Nevada operates under a fault-based system, which means the liable parties must compensate the injured parties. In most circumstances, insurance may be available to compensate the injured party. It most often covers medical expenses, property damage, lost wages, non-economic damages, and a fair settlement for the victims.
In addition, Nevada courts use the modified comparative negligence rule to determine how much damage the injured party can recover. If you are found to be more than 50% at fault, you cannot seek compensation.
If you are found to be less than 50% but partially at fault, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault, you may be able to recover 80% of the total damages.
