Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Las Vegas

“I was stopped in traffic on my motorcycle at the back of a line of traffic when another motorcyclist failed to stop and rear-ended my motorbike. The impact pushed me into the path of an oncoming vehicle which smashed into me head on. I woke up in the hospital after losing three liters of blood, undergoing two operations and spending multiple days under heavy sedation. I had suffered several fractures to my left leg, nervous shock and scarring. I was too beat up to do anything and relied totally on my wife, who helped me physically recover and also found a good lawyer to take on my case."
Our attorney came to interview me during my recovery as I was too incapacitated to travel to his office. He took detailed notes of my answers, assessed my state and needs, then helped my wife to arrange rehabilitation appointments for me with a leading physical therapy clinic.

The investigation began, and the law firm obtained witness statements to substantiate my claim for ongoing loss of earnings. (I am a building contractor and could no longer go to sites or work at my office.) The legal team also prepared a detailed estimate of costs caused by the accident, from rehabilitative exercise equipment to housekeeping services to taxi costs as I could no longer drive and my wife needed to care for me full-time. During this period, our attorneys arranged for me to be assessed and interviewed by experts including accident investigators, an orthopedic surgeon and a neurologist.

The motorcyclist who rear-ended me pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention. After a series of long negotiations with his insurer, my lawyer was able to secure a high six-figure settlement for damages and ongoing costs. The firm also assisted me in setting up a trust structure to fund my long-term care needs and helped me through the process of applying for disability benefits.

Life will never be the same; I now walk with difficulty using a cane, drive an adapted car, and will never ride a motorcycle again. The money can’t give my health back, but the financial cushion takes a lot of the pressure and stress away from my wife, so things are better than they were before. I thank God that I am still alive and had the support of my wife and legal team to get through this time.”

This scenario illustrates the devastating fallout from a motorcycle accident and the importance of a skilled attorney in helping you recover damages and move forward. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, you may be dealing with these issues:

  • How to get medical treatment for your immediate injuries and follow-on treatment for long-term problems like neck and spinal pain
  • Dealing with health insurance – some coverage is very important to pay the high costs associated with medical treatment. If you do not have health insurance, it is even more important to contact an accident lawyer immediately.
  • Finding a skilled mechanic and body shop to repair your motorcycle to an approved standard at a good price
  • Negotiating with your auto insurance company and the insurance companies of any other drivers. Insurance companies will try every strategy and tactic to minimize payouts. It’s a hardball scenario where you need a skilled negotiator to represent your interests.
  • Work missed due to injury
  • Physical pain and emotional suffering
  • Confusion and stress about the complexity of these issues happening all at once
  • Trying to get on with your day-to-day responsibilities at work, school and home while dealing with the additional problems caused by the accident
