Motorcycle Accident Attorney in Reno

Reckless driving, failure to yield to motorcyclists, distracted driving, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and generally disobeying traffic laws are some of the most common examples of negligence. This kind of recklessness on our roads often leads to serious accidents and sometimes deaths, with motorcyclists being among the biggest victims. 

Since Reno is in Nevada, an at-fault state, you can file a motorcycle accident claim with the insurance company of the party you believe caused the accident. In some cases, liability might fall beyond the at-fault driver. For instance, if a defective motorcycle part causes an accident, you may be able to take action against the product manufacturer.

In a typical motorcycle accident case, you generally need to prove these four elements: 

• Duty of care: Involves proving the that other party had the legal responsibility of not being negligent or reckless towards you. 
• Breach of duty: Establishes that the at-fault party was negligent or reckless. 
• Causation: Shows that you were harmed by the other party’s negligence or recklessness.

Damages: You suffered damages, either economic or non-economic, due to the other party’s negligence.

You definitely need an attorney if you’ve suffered severe injuries, the insurance company declines your claim or offers an insufficient settlement, and if you’re unsure who was responsible for the accident. The same applies if you lost a loved one in the accident or you don’t know if you have a viable claim in the first place. 

The injury firm you contact to handle your case can make or break your chances of obtaining compensation for the injuries or losses sustained after a motorcycle accident. You deserve an attorney who not only understands your pain but is also well-equipped to take on any bully in the room on your behalf. That’s what you get when you hire a Reno motorcycle accident lawyer from our team.
