Bicycle Accident in Las Vegas? Here is what you should do.
A bicycle accident can happen in seconds, and in the chaos, it’s hard to know what steps to take next. Whether you’ve been hit by a negligent driver, injured by dangerous road conditions, or involved in a collision with another cyclist, what you do immediately after the accident can impact your health, your rights, and your ability to recover compensation.
As an experienced Las Vegas bicycle accident attorney, Jerez Law helps injured cyclists navigate the legal process and fight for the justice they deserve.

How Jerez Law Helps Bicycle Accident Victims in Las Vegas.
Step 1 — Get to Safety and Call 911
Your first priority is your safety. Move to a safe location away from traffic if possible and call 911 to report the accident. Even if you believe your injuries are minor, having law enforcement on scene ensures the crash is properly documented, a critical step for your case later.
Step 2 — Gather Key Information
If you’re able, collect as much information as possible while still at the scene:
- The driver’s name, contact information, license, and insurance details
- Photos and videos of your injuries, your bicycle, and the surrounding area
- Witness names and statements
This evidence can make a significant difference when negotiating with insurance companies or presenting your case in court.
Step 3 — Seek Medical Attention Immediately
Some injuries, like concussions or internal trauma, aren’t obvious right away. Always get checked by a medical professional — not only for your safety, but also to document your injuries for your legal claim.
Step 4 — Don’t Talk to Insurance Companies Yet
Insurance adjusters may contact you quickly, often sounding helpful while trying to minimize payouts. Before giving any statements or signing documents, call Jerez Law. We’ll deal directly with insurance companies so you don’t accidentally weaken your case.
Step 5 — Contact Jerez Law for Legal Support
After a bicycle accident, time matters. Evidence disappears, witnesses move, and Nevada law limits how long you have to file a claim. At Jerez Law, we:
- Investigate every detail of your case
- Work with medical providers to ensure proper documentation
- Negotiate aggressively with insurance companies
- Take cases to trial when necessary
Our goal is to get you the maximum compensation you deserve for medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering.
