The state of Nevada does not have a good record of motorcycle fatalities. It has one of the highest death tolls in the country, reflecting a state that presents unique challenges for motorcyclists and, therefore, more personal injury claims.
Insurance companies for the liable party do not have your best interests in mind post-accident. Their priority is not to give you maximum compensation. They will try to do the opposite by pressuring you to take their first low offer.

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 30 years, The Advocates have helped thousands of personal injury victims receive the compensation and care they deserve after their accidents, and we are prepared to do the same for you.
We can help 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. We will definitely turn ALL of our family and friends towards this lawyer and firm; in a heartbeat!!!

There is no greater protection for a motorcyclist than a helmet, given that the most severe injuries involve your head. Helmets are estimated to decrease fatalities by 37% for motorcycle riders and by 41% for passengers. Most injuries are painful, but you can usually make a full recovery. With a traumatic brain injury, the damage is often permanent.
If the obvious benefits are not enough to convince you, then maybe the force of law will. Riding without a helmet is a misdemeanor that brings a hefty fine and potential demerit points on your record.
Nevada has various weather conditions, each creating adverse riding for motorcyclists.
The Nevada Rider Motorcyclist Safety Program is a surefire way to be the best biker on the road. The teachings touch on every aspect of motorcycle riding and Nevada law surrounding this fun but risky form of transportation.
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, check out their list of places to ride in Nevada. It contains all the most beautiful roads in the state.
You generally have two years from the accident date to file your personal injury claim. Failure to act within this timeframe could leave you with no avenue for seeking compensation after a motorcycle collision.
Nevada law may be lenient and extend the statute of limitations for your case, depending on certain circumstances. One example where this could happen is if the injured party is not aware of the extent of their injuries long after the accident. Another possibility is if the at-fault party flees the state and cannot come to court.
Situations like these fall under the discovery rule, which extends the statute of limitations due to extenuating circumstances.
Determining fault precedes any personal injury claim. Nevada law uses the modified comparative negligence rule to determine the liable party. You cannot recover damages from the accident if you are more than 50% at fault. If your fault is less than 50%, you can file a claim, but the percentage of your fault will reduce your compensation.
For example, if a motorcyclist is 20% at fault for the accident, they will only receive 80% of the total compensation the court grants them.
You should begin to seek legal representation soon after your accident. While you have two years from the accident to file a claim, prompt action will ensure we have the time to build you a solid case.
