Motorcycles are commonly involved in intersection accidents because they are smaller than passenger cars and are often overlooked. Distracted, speeding, or careless drivers often fail to yield the right-of-way to motorcyclists while making a turn, entering traffic, or while changing lanes. Drivers who fail to properly yield the right-of-way to motorcyclists may be held liable for the damages they cause.
Injured motorcyclists would be well advised to discuss their legal rights and options with a skilled Las Vegas personal injury attorney. Financial compensation may be available for the damages they have suffered through civil litigation. Losses that may be included in a personal injury claim include medical bills, cost of physical therapy, time away from work, pain and suffering, and other related damages.
