Groups of motorcyclists performing stunts are blocking Nevada roads and freeways and causing accidents to other motorists and pedestrians. Recently, there have been numerous incidents on roads and freeways throughout different Nevada jurisdictions.
A pair of deadly fires at the MGM Grand and the Hilton in Las Vegas in the early 1980s resulted in numerous changes that have made hotels in the city among the safest in the nation. With 85 deaths and more than 600 injuries, the MGM Grand fire is the worst disaster ever in Nevada. It was followed by the fire at the Hilton that killed eight hotel guests. In response, state legislators implemented rules and regulations that have made Nevada hotels much safer. When someone is injured in a hotel fire that is caused by the negligence of others, a personal injury lawyer can assist in ensuring that the hotel is held liable for damages in cases of negligence.
Wearing a bicycle helmet can reduce a bicyclist’s risk of suffering a minor injury by 50% and a serious head injury by nearly 70%. Helmets can also reduce a cyclist’s risk of fatality by 65%. With only two exceptions limited to Indian reservations, Nevada law does not require cyclists to wear helmets. However, the statistics show that these safety devices save lives and reduce a cyclists risk of their name becoming yet another statistic.
Nevadans should avoid driving in the dangerous blind spots around large trucks. Because of their size and design, blind spots exist behind and on either side of large trucks. It can be very difficult for truck drivers to see motorists who are traveling in these areas. When drivers make the mistake of driving in these locations, they are at a much greater risk of being involved in truck accidents. When an accident is caused by a truck driver’s negligence, a truck accident attorney may help the victims to recover damages. If the other motorist causes the accident through his or her own negligence, however, he or she might not have the valid grounds to file a claim against the truck driver or the company for whom the driver works.
