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 (August 17th, 2026) – Yes, depending on the circumstances. You do not necessarily have to be sitting inside a Lyft vehicle to have a claim after a rideshare driver injures you. 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.

If a car accident happens in Nevada, Nevada law generally governs the crash, even when one or more drivers live in another state. That means Nevada's rules on fault, liability, and personal injury claims can affect your case whether you are a visitor injured while traveling or a Nevada resident hit by an out-of-state driver. Understanding how Nevada handles car accidents involving nonresidents can help you protect your rights, deal with insurance issues, and determine your next steps. This is especially relevant in Las Vegas and other popular Nevada destinations, where visitors regularly share the roads with local drivers.
