According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, data from 2014 shows that the biggest risk factors for bicycle accident fatalities include lack of helmet use, riding in urban areas, being age 20 or older and having blood alcohol concentrations of 0.08 percent or higher. Of those killed, 86 percent were adults age 20 or older. Sixty percent of those who were killed were not wearing helmets at the time of their accidents.

Wrongful death is a type of lawsuit that permits the family of a deceased person to recover damages from the person or persons responsible for their loved one’s death. Wrongful death suits are brought in response to the passing of a person. Nevada only permits the immediate family, dependents or representatives of the deceased’s estate to bring a wrongful death suit.

Nevada imposes several safety requirements on cars, drivers, and passengers. Car safety regulations were and continue to be instrumental in curbing vehicle-related mortalities and injuries. These regulations are especially important in and around Las Vegas, which is a critical thoroughfare for trucking shipments, tourism, and multi-state travelers.
