What to Do After a Reno Motorcycle Accident

01

Get to Safety

Move out of traffic if possible and call 911. Reno freeways and high speed roads are dangerous places to remain after a crash.

02

Collect Evidence at the Scene

Photograph your motorcycle, all vehicles involved, road conditions, and any visible injuries. Document the location, especially along I-80, US-395, or South Virginia Street.

03

Seek a Full Medical Exam

Visit Renown Regional Medical Center or Saint Mary’s even if you feel fine. Motorcycle crash injuries like internal bleeding and fractures may not be immediately obvious.

04

Contact a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Insurance companies often blame riders. Phoong Law protects your rights and pursues full compensation for your injuries.

Motorcycle Accidents in Reno

Reno’s scenic mountain roads, warm summer riding season, and proximity to Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada make it a popular region for motorcyclists. But the same conditions create significant hazards. Unlike California, lane splitting is not legal in Nevada, and riders must navigate traffic in the same lanes as larger vehicles on I-80, US-395, and busy corridors like South Virginia Street and McCarran Boulevard.

Popular routes like the Mount Rose Highway, Geiger Grade, and roads around Lake Tahoe attract recreational riders but involve winding mountain roads, elevation changes, and limited visibility. Nevada’s modified comparative negligence system allows injured riders to recover compensation as long as they are not more than 50 percent at fault. Phoong Law advocates for Reno motorcyclists who deserve fair treatment from insurance companies.

What Your Reno Motorcycle Accident Case Could Be Worth

Motorcycle accidents typically result in more severe injuries than car crashes because riders lack the protective shell of a vehicle. Nevada law allows recovery for all accident related expenses, and the lack of a vehicle barrier often means higher medical costs and longer recovery periods.

Emergency and Surgical Care

Medical Bills & Future Care

Trauma treatment at Renown Regional Medical Center, orthopedic surgery, skin grafts for road rash, and intensive care stays.

Lost Wages and Earning Capacity

Lost Wages & Earning Power

Income lost during recovery, including long term career impact for riders who cannot return to physically demanding work.

Pain and Suffering

Pain & Suffering

Physical pain, emotional distress, scarring, disfigurement, and the lasting psychological impact of a serious motorcycle crash.

Motorcycle Replacement

Property Damage

Fair market value of your motorcycle and riding gear damaged or destroyed in the collision.

Common Questions After a Reno Motorcycle Accident

Is lane splitting legal in Nevada?

No. Unlike California, lane splitting is not legal in Nevada. Motorcyclists must remain in their designated lane. However, if another driver caused the crash, you may still recover full compensation.

What if the driver says the accident was my fault?

Nevada’s modified comparative negligence law means you can recover compensation as long as you are not more than 50 percent at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of responsibility.

Do I need a lawyer for a motorcycle accident?

Motorcycle accident victims face unique challenges, including bias from insurance adjusters. An experienced attorney levels the playing field and helps maximize your recovery.

How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim?

You have two years from the date of the accident under Nevada’s statute of limitations. Acting quickly helps preserve critical evidence.

What if I was not wearing a helmet?

Nevada requires helmets for all motorcycle riders. Not wearing one may affect your compensation for head injuries, but it does not bar you from filing a claim for other injuries.

How much does it cost to hire Phoong Law?

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, so you pay no attorney fees unless we win your case.
