Las Vegas Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

As a motorcyclist, living in the city of Las Vegas is simply incredible. The open roads surrounding the city and vast landscapes allow for a sense of freedom when driving on your motorcycle. Alongside that, many bike enthusiasts make their way to the state of Nevada to ride on the dunes of the desert and camp out under the stars without city lights all around.  However, with so many motorcyclists making their way to Las Vegas, the risk of an accident is frighteningly high. Riding a bike is already extremely dangerous because of the lack of protection other vehicles provide, making the driver extremely vulnerable to even minor accidents.  

At Jerez Law, our Las Vegas motorcycle accident attorneys will fight tooth and nail to make sure that you receive the appropriate compensation for the motorcycle accident you may be involved in. Insurance companies often overlook or do not compensate as much to motorcyclists because they see them as reckless and irresponsible drivers. This discrimination of trying to find blame on the rider in any way is unacceptable. Our team of attorneys will gather all the evidence and negotiate everything with these insurance companies to make sure you receive top compensation for the accident so you can pay for any medical fees, repairs, and more. We will handle everything while you focus your mind on recovery.

Navigating the aftermath of a motorcycle accident in Las Vegas can be overwhelming. At Jerez Law, we provide comprehensive support and expert legal representation to ensure you receive the justice and compensation you deserve.

Types of Motorcycle Accidents We Handle

Every motorcycle crash is different, but what they all share is this: they’re serious. At Jerez Law, we’ve represented countless riders in Las Vegas who were injured because another driver didn’t see them, didn’t yield, or just didn’t care. We understand how devastating a motorcycle accident can be—from broken bones and missed paychecks to long-term medical care and emotional trauma. That’s why we tailor every case strategy to the specific type of crash you were in and the evidence available.

Our firm handles a wide range of motorcycle accident scenarios, from high-speed freeway collisions on I-15 to sideswipes on Flamingo or rear-end crashes in stop-and-go traffic near the Strip. Each case type brings its own legal challenges—whether it’s proving fault, fighting insurance bias, or dealing with uninsured drivers. We don’t just know the law; we know how Las Vegas traffic really works. And that gives us the upper hand when negotiating for the compensation you deserve.

Collisions with Other Vehicles

Motorcycle collisions with passenger vehicles make up a significant portion of serious injury cases in Las Vegas. These crashes typically happen because car drivers fail to properly check for motorcyclists, misjudge their distance or speed, or engage in distracted behaviors like texting, adjusting GPS, or even eating behind the wheel. Riders often get lost in blind spots or ignored completely during lane changes and intersection turns.

Our team at Jerez Law regularly handles intersection accidents, particularly those involving left-turn violations. These occur when a car turns left at a light or into a parking lot and cuts directly into the path of an oncoming motorcycle. The driver may claim they “didn’t see the motorcycle”, but that excuse doesn’t hold up in court. We gather witness statements, traffic camera footage, and accident reconstructions to prove fault and hold negligent drivers fully accountable.

Common Causes of Car Collisions

• Failure to Yield – Especially at intersections or when turning left across traffic
• Distracted Driving – Texting, phone calls, GPS use
• Aggressive Lane Changes – Without signaling or checking blind spots
• Speeding – Reducing reaction time and increasing impact force
• Dooring Incidents – When parked drivers open doors into moving motorcycle lanes

Each of these scenarios is preventable. If a driver’s carelessness caused your crash, Jerez Law is prepared to file a strong liability claim on your behalf. We’ll fight against any attempt to shift blame onto you, which insurance companies frequently try to do in motorcycle cases.

Common Causes of Truck Collisions

Motorcycle crashes involving commercial trucks are almost always devastating due to the sheer size and weight of the vehicles involved. These collisions are often caused by truck drivers:

• Failing to check wide blind spots
• Making wide right turns without seeing the rider
• Stopping too late or too suddenly
• Changing lanes across multiple lanes at once
• Driving fatigued or under the influence of medication

Las Vegas sees heavy truck traffic—especially on major routes like I-15, I-11, and US-95. If your crash involved a semi-truck, box truck, or delivery vehicle, we’ll launch a thorough investigation. This includes requesting logbooks, dash cam footage, maintenance records, and reviewing whether the trucking company followed federal safety regulations under FMCSA. These cases often involve both the driver and the company—and we pursue claims against both to maximize your compensation.

Rear-End Collisions

Rear-end crashes may seem simple, but they can be devastating for riders. Even a low-speed impact from behind can eject a motorcyclist and cause serious trauma. We’ll make sure the driver’s distraction or negligence is fully exposed and held accountable.

Causes of Rear-End Crashes

Rear-end collisions often result from tailgating, sudden stops, or distracted driving. Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable in these scenarios, leading to significant injuries even at low speeds.

Merging Accidents

Improper mergers are a frequent cause of motorcycle accidents on crowded roads like I-95 and Summerlin Parkway. These cases hinge on visibility and lane rights—areas we know how to investigate and litigate with precision.

Injuries Caused by Lane Changing

Unsafe lane changes and failure to check blind spots can lead to merging accidents. Motorcyclists may suffer severe injuries due to the sudden impact and lack of protective barriers.

Lane Splitting

Though lane splitting is illegal in Nevada, accidents related to it still happen—and insurance companies may use this against you. If you’re involved in a crash while lane splitting, call us immediately. We’ll examine every detail to reduce blame and protect your rights.

Even though lane splitting is prohibited, your case still deserves to be evaluated fairly. Nevada follows a comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault—so long as you’re not more than 50% responsible. Our Las Vegas motorcycle accident injury attorneys have handled lane-splitting cases successfully by proving the other driver acted with greater recklessness or intent.

Injuries Caused by Lane Splitting

Lane splitting, or riding between lanes of slow-moving or stopped traffic, is illegal in Nevada. Engaging in this practice increases the risk of accidents and can complicate liability and compensation claims.

Uninsured Motorist Claims

Nevada requires all drivers to carry insurance—but that doesn’t mean everyone on the road is following the law. If you’re hit by a driver who’s uninsured or underinsured, it can feel like a financial death sentence. But it doesn’t have to be. At Jerez Law, our Las Vegas motorcycle accident injury attorneys are experienced in handling uninsured motorist (UM) claims and will fight to ensure you’re not the one left paying for someone else’s bad decision.

Motorcycle accidents involving uninsured drivers are especially challenging. Not only are injuries often more severe, but insurance companies may try to dispute or delay valid UM claims. We won’t let that happen. We step in immediately, assess your coverage, notify your insurer, and document the crash thoroughly. Whether the at-fault driver fled the scene or simply had no coverage, we’ll explore every option to recover what you’re owed—from your UM/UIM policy to third-party liability claims, to potential dram shop cases if alcohol was involved.

Understanding Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Uninsured Motorist (UM) and Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverage are optional in Nevada—but they’re crucial. If you carry out this protection, your insurance company essentially steps into the shoes of the at-fault driver and pays what they would have owed. But getting them to pay fairly isn’t automatic. Many insurers will treat your UM claim like any other claim—from an adversarial standpoint—scrutinizing your injuries, challenging fault, or offering far less than your case is worth.

We won’t let them lowball you. At Jerez Law, we meticulously review your policy, make sure your injuries are properly documented, and handle all communication with the insurer. Our goal is to secure the maximum payout your policy allows, with no excuses and no red tape.

Options After a Crash with an Uninsured Driver

If you don’t have UM/UIM coverage—or if your injuries exceed the policy limits—we still have options. We may pursue a civil lawsuit against the at-fault driver, evaluate whether other liable parties exist (such as an employer if the driver was on the job), or investigate whether a vehicle defect or road hazard contributed to the crash. In rare cases, state victim compensation programs or medpay provisions may offer partial financial relief.

What’s most important is acting quickly. Nevada has strict time limits (statutes of limitations) for filing these types of claims. Reach out to Jerez Law as soon as possible after your crash so we can preserve evidence, review coverage, and get your recovery in motion.

Drunk Driving Motorcycle Wrecks

Few crash types are more tragic—and more preventable—than those caused by intoxicated drivers. For motorcyclists, a collision with a drunk driver can result in catastrophic injuries, permanent disability, or even death. At Jerez Law, we aggressively represent riders who’ve been hit by DUI drivers in Las Vegas, and we push hard to hold these drivers fully accountable—both civilly and criminally.

Drunk driving isn’t just reckless, it’s illegal. And in Nevada, that opens the door to punitive damages, which are designed to punish the driver and deter future misconduct. These claims require strong evidence, fast action, and an attorney who knows how to build a case that proves not only negligence, but conscious disregard for public safety. That’s what we do every day for injured motorcyclists.

How They Happen

Drunk drivers suffer from delayed reaction times, poor judgment, and erratic behavior behind the wheel. They run red lights, swerve into adjacent lanes, drive the wrong way down streets, or slam into stopped traffic without even trying to brake. For motorcyclists, this often means being hit head-on, broadsided, or rear-ended at full speed.

These types of crashes are common in nightlife-heavy zones like Fremont Street, the Strip, or the Arts District, especially on weekends or holidays. Our legal team investigates all contributing factors—was the driver overserved at a bar? Were there multiple vehicles involved? Was surveillance footage captured from local businesses or traffic cams? We leave no stone unturned.

Proving Intoxication

Proving the other driver was drunk is about more than pointing to a police report. We work to gather every piece of evidence that shows the driver was under the influence and unfit to be on the road. That includes:

• Police reports and DUI citations
• BAC test results and toxicology screens
• Bodycam footage
• Witness statements from the scene
• Restaurant/bar receipts and surveillance video
• Expert testimony from toxicologists or accident reconstructionists

Timing matters. If you wait too long, this evidence can disappear. That’s why contacting our team immediately gives you the best shot at proving intoxication and recovering full damages, including punitive compensation where appropriate.

Types of Injuries Caused by Motorcycle Collisions

Motorcycle accidents often lead to some of the most catastrophic injuries seen on Nevada roads. Without the structural protection of a car, riders are directly exposed to impact forces, hard surfaces, and other vehicles. From traumatic brain injuries to severe road rash, these accidents can result in long-term physical damage and costly medical treatment. At Jerez Law, we’ve handled cases involving both minor and life-altering injuries—and we make sure every medical expense, lost paycheck, and pain point is fully documented and aggressively pursued.

Las Vegas riders frequently suffer injuries that require surgery, rehabilitation, and even permanent care. Whether your crash happened on the 215 Beltway, a downtown intersection, or a backroad outside the city, the trauma to your body may not be fully understood right away. That’s why our legal team works closely with doctors, orthopedic specialists, and trauma experts to build a case that reflects the full scope of your injuries—not just what shows up on the first ER report. You focus on healing. We’ll focus on winning.

Brain Damage

Head injuries are among the most devastating outcomes of a motorcycle accident. Even with a helmet, a rider can suffer a traumatic brain injury (TBI) from the sheer force of impact during a crash. Symptoms can include memory loss, cognitive impairment, mood changes, loss of motor function, and in severe cases, permanent disability or coma. TBIs often don’t show their full effects immediately, which is why early diagnosis and long-term monitoring are essential.

At Jerez Law, we work with neurologists and forensic medical experts to diagnose, document, and value the full scope of brain trauma. Our Las Vegas motorcycle accident injury attorneys make sure your settlement includes long-term care, therapy, loss of earning capacity, and compensation for diminished quality of life. A brain injury changes everything—we make sure your legal case reflects that.

Road Rash

Road rash is often dismissed as a superficial injury, but that’s far from the truth. When a motorcyclist is thrown from the bike, the skin can scrape across asphalt, causing abrasions that range from first- to third-degree severity. These wounds can expose nerves and muscle tissue, carry a high risk of infection, and lead to permanent scarring or disfigurement. In extreme cases, skin grafts and reconstructive surgery may be necessary.

Our team at Jerez Law doesn’t let insurance adjusters downplay these injuries. We document the medical treatment, surgical interventions, and psychological impact that road rash can have—especially when it affects visible areas like the face, arms, or legs. Your injuries deserve serious recognition, and our attorneys will demand that level of compensation.

Spinal Cord Injuries

A spinal cord injury can alter your life in a split second. These injuries range from herniated discs and nerve impingements to full or partial paralysis, including paraplegia or quadriplegia. The spinal cord is incredibly complex, and even a “minor” injury can cause chronic pain, limited mobility, or permanent disability requiring lifelong care.

Jerez Law collaborates with orthopedic surgeons, spine specialists, and vocational experts to build a clear, evidence-backed case. We ensure your claim covers everything: surgeries, wheelchairs, home modifications, lost future income, and pain management. As Las Vegas motorcycle accident injury attorneys, we understand the full medical and financial toll spinal injuries carry—and we fight for every penny.

Burns

Burn injuries are tragically common in motorcycle crashes, especially when fuel ignites, or hot engine parts come into contact with the skin. These burns can vary in severity but often lead to long-term physical and emotional trauma. Victims may face multiple skin grafts, infection risks, nerve damage, and substantial scarring. Beyond the physical, burns can deeply affect confidence, mental health, and daily life.

Our attorneys take these cases seriously. We gather extensive medical documentation, surgical records, and expert testimony to accurately represent the damage done. If you’ve suffered burn injuries in a motorcycle accident in Las Vegas, Jerez Law will build a case that ensures your future treatment and trauma are fully compensated.

Biker’s Arm

“Biker’s Arm” occurs when a motorcyclist instinctively braces for a fall using their arms, resulting in damage to the brachial plexus—a network of nerves controlling arm and hand movement. This condition can cause numbness, weakness, or even paralysis of the affected limb. It’s a unique motorcycle-specific injury that can severely limit your ability to work, drive, or perform basic tasks.

Because Biker’s Arm doesn’t always show up clearly on initial imaging, insurance companies often try to dispute or minimize it. At Jerez Law, we partner with neurologists and physical therapists to prove the connection between your crash and nerve injury. We then fight to make sure you’re compensated for loss of function, lost income, and long-term rehabilitation needs.

Broken Bones

Broken bones are one of the most common injuries in motorcycle accidents—and they’re rarely just “a broken arm.” Riders can suffer multiple fractures in the legs, ribs, pelvis, and spine, often requiring surgery, hardware installation, and months of physical therapy. Some breaks may never fully heal, leading to lasting pain and mobility issues.

Whether you fractured your femur in a side-impact crash or shattered a collarbone during a rear-end accident, our Las Vegas motorcycle accident injury attorneys will ensure your case accounts for all related costs. This includes hospital bills, surgery, missed work, pain and suffering, and any permanent impairment. We won’t let the insurance company lowball your recovery.
