Nevada Drivers Must Share the Road With Bicyclists
Drivers in Nevada must share the road with bicyclists, who have the same rights and responsibilities as motor vehicle operators, according to NRS § 484B.773. This means drivers must interact with bicycles the same as other vehicles, including yielding the right-of-way to cyclists at intersections when appropriate. Additionally, motorists must:
- Move into an adjacent lane when passing a bicyclist (if possible) or give the cyclist a minimum of 3 feet of clearance
- Not drive or park in designated bicycle lanes or on bike paths (except in an emergency)
- Exercise particular caution when driving around inexperienced bicyclists, especially children
We Will Prove an At-Fault Driver Caused Your Crash
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that drivers are more likely to collide with bicyclists when speeding, distracted, impaired, or traveling too closely. We can help you establish that a motorist is at-fault for your injuries and resulting damages if they violated traffic laws or behaved in a negligent, reckless, or wrongful manner. Examples of negligent behavior include:
- Speeding
- Failing to stop at a red light or stop sign
- Tailgating
- Illegal passing
- Making an improper turn
- Drinking and driving
- Texting and driving
Our Nevada bicycle accident lawyer can investigate your crash to determine its cause and prove liability. You rest and recover while we do the work necessary to collect evidence, consult with witnesses, and establish your right to financial compensation.
Other Liable Parties
Driver error doesn’t cause all bicycle accidents. We can also help you seek awards if negligent road conditions, defective bike or auto parts, or another issue led to your injuries. Our Nevada lawyers can act against other liable parties, including:
- Other bicyclists
- Motorcyclists
- Commercial vehicle drivers
- Negligent pedestrians
- Government or private roadway owners
- Manufacturers

Bicycle Accident Compensation in Nevada
When a motor vehicle hits a bicycle, the result can be severe or even fatal injuries for the rider who is not protected by a cab or seat belt. As a result, you may need extensive and ongoing medical treatment, be unable to work, and experience significant physical, mental, and emotional trauma.
If you did not cause the accident, you should not have to suffer further because of the financial burdens it creates. You deserve compensation for your injuries and damages, and our lawyers can fight to ensure you receive a fair settlement or verdict. We can help you pursue the following:
Economic Damages
Economic damages compensate you for your current and future out-of-pocket expenses, including:
- Ambulance transportation
- Emergency medical treatment
- Surgeries
- Hospital and doctor’s fees
- Rehabilitation expenses (e.g., physical therapy)
- Prescription medications
- Mobility aids
- Long-term nursing care
- Lost income and benefits
- Lost future earning capacity
- Bicycle and personal property damages
- Household services, medical travel costs, and various expenses
Our personal injury lawyers can help you identify and calculate your losses using receipts, bills, and other proof of your accident-related expenses. We can also work with experts, such as economists and doctors, to estimate a fair sum for your future medical care and long-term damages.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages compensate injury victims for their pain and suffering. You could be eligible for monetary awards for loss of mobility, loss of cognitive functioning, severe and chronic pain, disfigurement, scarring, depression, anxiety, stress, inconvenience, and lost quality of life.
Because non-economic compensation deals with intangible losses, you cannot simply add up a dollar amount. However, we will work hard to prove you should recover these damages, and our attorneys will fight for the maximum possible awards.
Wrongful Death Compensation
We can help recover damages on behalf of your loved one’s estate and eligible beneficiaries if they suffered a fatal bicycle accident injury. Compensation may include:
- Medical expenses
- Funeral, burial, and cremation costs
- Lost income (including earnings and benefits the deceased would have provided had they lived)
- The deceased’s pain and suffering
- Survivors’ grief and sorrow
- Loss of the deceased’s care, companionship, and affection

Our Nevada Attorneys Can Help You Get Started Today
You have a limited time to pursue a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit in Nevada. According to NRS § 11.190(4)(e), you must file your case within two years of your accident or your loved one’s passing. Failure to do so will likely lead to the court dismissing your case.
Though the statute of limitations does not strictly apply to insurance claims, waiting too long could also hurt your chances of securing a successful settlement. Our lawyers can help you build your case and get started before time runs out. Throughout the process of seeking compensation, we will stand by your side. Our team can:
- Prepare and file case paperwork
- Track and adhere to deadlines
- Handle emails, phone calls, and meetings with insurers or opposing counsel
- Obtain evidence, including medical records, police reports, eyewitness statements, and expert testimony
- Tirelessly negotiate to secure the most advantageous possible insurance or pretrial settlement
- Represent you in court if necessary
- Provide you with frequent and regular updates
To further assist personal injury clients, we offer our services for no upfront fees. Instead, our payment comes from your settlement or verdict. You owe us nothing if we do not obtain compensation for you or your loved one.
