The State of Nevada expressly permits bicycles to share the road with motored vehicles. The state is a popular bicycling destination due to its numerous bike paths, parks, and trails, and many of its bicycling clubs date to the early years of settlement. To accommodate Nevada’s bicycling tradition, the Legislature adopted a series of laws to ensure that cyclists and motorists can safely share the road.
Faulty equipment causes large truck crashes that result in countless injuries and deaths on America’s roadways every year. For some victims who are involved in these accidents, recovery is full and swift. For others, their lives and the lives of their families are forever changed. When equipment malfunction causes an 18 wheeler to crash, determining the cause of the failure can sometimes help a truck accident lawyer in Las Vegas identify who is liable.
Like other states, Nevada has a statute of limitations for filing wrongful death lawsuits that begins running on the date of the person’s death or the date that the death is discovered, but the limitation period is tolled when the plaintiff is a minor. Being under the age of 18 is considered to be a legal disability under the law, so the state stops the time from accruing until the person reaches the age of 18. This may allow children of people who are killed by the negligence or wrongful conduct of others more time to file lawsuits. A Las Vegas wrongful death attorney may review a case in order to determine whether or not the statute of limitations has ended or if it has been tolled.
Drunk driving claimed 9,967 lives in 2014. It is responsible for more than 1/3 of all traffic-related fatalities in the United States. Even with stricter laws and enforcement efforts, it continues to haunt American drivers. It is estimated that someone is killed by a drunk driver every 51 minutes of the day.
