What to Do After a Reno Bicycle Accident

01

Call 911 Right Away

Report the accident and request medical assistance. A Reno Police Department report creates an official record of the collision and the driver’s information.

02

Preserve the Evidence

Photograph your bicycle, the vehicle, the road, traffic signals, and any bike lane markings. Note if the crash occurred near the Truckee River bike path, UNR campus, or along a city bike route.

03

Get Medical Attention

Visit Renown Regional Medical Center or Saint Mary’s even if injuries seem minor. Head injuries, fractures, and internal injuries may not show symptoms immediately.

04

Speak With a Bicycle Accident Lawyer

Insurance companies often undervalue cyclist claims. Phoong Law protects your rights and pursues full compensation.

Bicycle Accidents in Reno

Reno has invested in cycling infrastructure including the Truckee River bike path, bike lanes along key corridors, and connections through Midtown and the University of Nevada Reno campus. Despite these improvements, cyclists remain vulnerable to distracted drivers, dooring incidents, and vehicles encroaching on bike lanes throughout the city.

High traffic corridors like Virginia Street, South Virginia Street, McCarran Boulevard, and Wells Avenue see frequent bicycle collisions. Nevada law requires drivers to give cyclists a safe passing distance when overtaking. Under Nevada’s modified comparative negligence system, injured cyclists can recover compensation as long as they are not more than 50 percent at fault.

What Your Reno Bicycle Accident Case Could Be Worth

Bicycle accident injuries are often severe because cyclists have no protection against impact with a vehicle. Nevada law allows full recovery for all accident related losses, including extensive medical treatment and long term rehabilitation.

Medical Treatment

Medical Bills & Future Care

Emergency care at Renown Regional or Saint Mary’s, orthopedic surgery, dental reconstruction, and physical therapy for cycling injuries.

Lost Income

Lost Wages & Earning Power

Wages lost during recovery and reduced earning capacity if injuries prevent you from returning to your previous work.

Pain and Suffering

Pain & Suffering

Physical pain, emotional trauma, scarring, and the impact on your ability to ride and enjoy daily activities.

Bicycle and Equipment

Property Damage

Replacement or repair of your bicycle, helmet, and other gear damaged in the crash.

Common Questions After a Reno Bicycle Accident

Does Nevada require drivers to give cyclists space when passing?

Yes. Nevada law requires drivers to maintain a safe distance when overtaking a cyclist. Violations of this law can establish driver negligence in a bicycle accident claim.

What if I was not wearing a helmet?

Nevada does not require adult cyclists to wear helmets. Not wearing a helmet does not prevent you from filing a claim, though it may affect compensation for head injuries.

Can I recover compensation if I was riding outside the bike lane?

Yes. Cyclists are legally allowed to ride on most Reno roads. Under comparative negligence, you can recover compensation as long as you are not more than 50 percent at fault.

What if the driver left the scene?

Hit and run cases can still be pursued through your own uninsured motorist coverage. We also work to identify the driver through surveillance footage and witness statements.

How long do I have to file a claim?

Nevada’s statute of limitations is two years from the date of the accident. Contact an attorney promptly to preserve evidence and protect your rights.

How much does it cost to hire a bicycle accident lawyer?

Phoong Law works on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. Consultations are free.
