Las Vegas, NV — Does a DUI Arrest Prove Fault in a Motorcycle Accident Claim?

Las Vegas, NV (August 25th, 2026) – A DUI arrest after a Las Vegas motorcycle accident can provide important evidence for an injury or wrongful death claim, but the arrest alone does not automatically prove civil liability. Investigators still look at how the crash happened, whether the driver violated traffic laws, and whether that conduct caused the motorcyclist’s injuries or death. A recent fatal crash at East Windmill Lane and South Haven Street shows how evidence of impairment and evidence of a traffic violation can become separate, important parts of the investigation.

Las Vegas, NV — Can You Sue Lyft if a Driver Injures You Before You Enter the Vehicle?

A recent Clark County lawsuit illustrates that issue. The alleged victim claims he approached the Lyft he had ordered, tried to open a locked door, and became caught by his wedding ring before the driver accelerated and dragged him approximately 300 feet. The lawsuit names both the driver and Lyft.
