Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Henderson
Motorcycle collisions often occur due to driver negligence or unsafe road conditions. Common causes include:
- Left-turn accidents: Drivers turning in front of motorcycles at intersections.
- Failure to yield: Motorists not checking blind spots or misjudging a motorcycle’s distance.
- Distracted driving: Texting, using phones, or multitasking behind the wheel.
- Speeding and reckless driving: Reducing reaction time and increasing crash severity.
- Impaired driving: Alcohol and drug use remain leading causes of motorcycle crashes.
- Unsafe road design: Potholes, debris, or poor maintenance often contribute to accidents.
Every motorcycle accident requires a detailed investigation to determine fault and identify all responsible parties.
Nevada Motorcycle Accident Laws
Motorcycle accidents in Henderson fall under Nevada’s personal injury and traffic laws.
Helmet Law (NRS 486.231)
All riders and passengers must wear helmets approved by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Failure to wear a helmet can impact a motorcycle accident claim, as insurance companies may argue that not wearing one contributed to the severity of head injuries and should reduce compensation.
Comparative Negligence (NRS 41.141)
Victims may recover damages if they are less than 51 percent at fault. Compensation is reduced by the percentage of fault assigned.
Statute of Limitations (NRS 11.190)
Most claims must be filed within two years from the date of the crash.
Wrongful Death (NRS 41.085)
When a motorcycle accident is fatal, surviving family members may file a wrongful death claim to recover damages for funeral costs, lost income, and emotional suffering.
