Nevada bicycle accident claims: what you should know

Cyclists have the same right to the road as drivers in Nevada, and drivers have specific duties when they share it. When a driver ignores those duties, the injuries to a rider can be serious.

Nevada's safe passing law

When passing a bicycle, Nevada drivers must move into the left lane if one is available and it's safe, or otherwise leave at least three feet of space (NRS 484B.270). Drivers also need to watch for riders in bike lanes before turning or pulling out.

Common causes of bike crashes

  • Passing too closely
  • Right hooks: a driver turning right across a rider
  • Left turns in front of an oncoming rider
  • Car doors opened into a bike lane
  • Drivers pulling out of driveways and parking lots
  • Distracted or impaired drivers

Fault and insurance

Nevada uses modified comparative negligence (NRS 41.141). You can still recover money if you were partly at fault, as long as you weren't more at fault than the other side. Your recovery is reduced by your share of fault. Insurance adjusters know this rule well, which is why they look for ways to put blame on you.

The driver's liability insurance usually pays. If the driver was uninsured or fled, your own auto policy's uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may protect you even though you were on a bike.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have a claim if I wasn't wearing a helmet?

Possibly. Nevada doesn't require adult cyclists to wear helmets. The insurer may still argue about your injuries, so talk to More Money Morales about the details.

Does my car insurance cover me on a bike?

Often, yes. Your uninsured/underinsured motorist and medical payments coverage may apply. More Money Morales can review your policy.

What if the driver says they didn't see me?

Not seeing a cyclist isn't an excuse. Drivers must watch for and give space to riders. Evidence like video and witnesses can help prove what happened.

How long do I have to file a bicycle accident claim in Nevada?

Nevada generally gives you two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit (NRS 11.190). Property damage claims generally have three years. Some claims, like those against government agencies, have extra rules, so it's best not to wait.

How much does it cost to hire More Money Morales?

Nothing upfront. There's no attorney's fee and no case costs unless we recover money for you.
