Motorcycle Accidents
Every week, a person is killed while riding their motorcycle on Nevada roads. If you or a loved one has been involved in a motorcycle accident, chances are that the motorcyclist was seriously injured.
Motorcycle accidents are common in Nevada, especially at night, when other drivers cannot see the motorcyclist. Although alcohol or drugs may be factor, if you or your loved one were not on alcohol or drugs at the time of the accident and were not the cause of the accident, you should seek representation of a experienced accident and injury lawyer to protect your rights. If your loved one died in an accident which was not his fault, you need a lawyer who can get you the compensation you deserve. Attorney Nadia von Magdenko has over a decade of experience in accident injury cases and is available for a free consultation concerning your case.
According to the National Highway and Safety Administration, in recent years, for the amount of miles driven, motorcyclists were about 37 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a motor vehicle traffic crash and 9 times more likely to be injured. Also, although only less than 5% of all vehicles on the road are motorcycles, motorcyclists account for 14 percent of total traffic deaths. When a motorcyclist uses a helmet, which is the law in Nevada, it greatly increases in the chances of survival in a motorcycle accident.
With gas prices going up, a lot of people are using a motorcycle or scooter to get around the Las Vegas Valley. Given the increased number of motorcycle and scooter riders on the road, it is important for everyone to watch out for motorcyclists and scooter riders, to reduce deaths and injuries on the roads. However, if you are reading this, chances are an accident did happen and you need legal representation to make sure you are not a victim twice.
Semi-Truck/Big Rig Accidents
I-15 and the 95 freeways are common roads that semi-trucks and big rigs use to transport goods between states and into northern Nevada. Since semi-trucks and cars are using the roads together, it is common in Las Vegas for semi-trucks to side swipe cars or to drive cars off the road, causing injuries to Las Vegas drivers. Truck drivers also suffer from fatigue due to long driving hours and intense pressure to deliver their goods on time.
When you hire Attorney Nadia von Magdenko, she will make sure that if there is a dispute as to what happened, evidence is preserved and witnesses will be contacted to make sure that even if someone moves away or if memory fades, you case will still be strong.
Bus Accidents
Bus ridership is increasing in the Las Vegas Valley. Given the high cost of gas, people are choosing to take the bus instead of paying for gas, a car payment, insurance and maintenance costs. People are experiencing that it is more economical to ride the bus instead. With the Las Vegas bus system expanding with non-stop and commuter lines, ridership will only increase.
Another major ridership portion is out of town visitors who use the Las Vegas bus system to get around the Strip. Instead of paying for cabs, visitors find it easier and more cost effective to use the Las Vegas bus system to get from hotel to hotel. No matter if you are a local or live in another state or Canada, you have rights if you are injured while riding a Las Vegas bus.
Attorney Nadia von Magdenko regularly handles cases against the Las Vegas bus system, commonly known as the RTC. The RTC is actually operated by Veolia Transportation and Attorney Nadia von Magdenko makes sure people injured while riding Veolia Transportation’s buses are provided justice.
One major issue with injuries while riding a bus, is that the bus does not provide seat belts for passengers. So, while you may always wear your seat belt while riding in a car, you are not provided with that protection when you get on a Las Vegas bus. As a result of no seat belts, even minor accidents can cause you physical injuries. If you are injured while riding a Las Vegas bus, you need to contact a Las Vegas lawyer experienced in those types of cases, to protect your rights.
