Whether you were injured or lost someone in a motorcycle accident, you deserve justice. A Spring Valley motorcycle accident lawyer from High Stakes Injury Law may be able to help you get it.

Motorcycle accident victims can collect three types of damages for their accident: economic, non-economic, and punitive. Unlike some states, Nevada does not cap or limit most types of damages a motor vehicle accident victim can collect. A victim’s damage award may be determined in settlement negotiations with a defendant or by a judge or jury at trial. In either case, a Spring Valley motorcycle accident lawyer may be able to help you receive a fair award.
Economic damage awards compensate accident victims for their “economic” or monetary losses. Common financial losses resulting from these accidents include medical costs, travel costs to and from medical appointments (including transportation and lodging costs for out-of-town appointments), and lost wages from past and future missed work.
Non-economic damages compensate victims’ past and future pain, suffering, and mental anguish. This damage award will likely correlate to how severe a victim’s injury is, their predicted recovery or inability to completely recover, disfigurement, and the overall burden the accident has placed on the victim’s life.
While punitive damage awards are extremely rare, they are sometimes awarded in extremely audacious cases. These cases typically occur as a result of a defendant’s malicious behavior or astonishing gross negligence, per the Legal Information Institute (LII). Malicious behavior in a motorcycle accident case may include road rage and aggressive driving.
Extreme gross negligence could be drunk driving, especially in cases of defendants who have already been reprimanded for drunk driving or previously injured someone in a prior drunk driving case.
A wrongful death lawsuit will also cover the expenses associated with burials, funerals, and other logistical aspects that resulted from your loved one’s loss. If you have unfairly lost a loved one, you deserve justice on their behalf. In order to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit, a few factors must be considered.
For instance, your relationship to the decedent and the cause of their death will influence your case’s proceedings.
At High Stakes Injury Law, we don’t just represent injured victims; we also stand by their families during the most difficult times of their lives. A wrongful death lawsuit allows surviving loved ones to hold a negligent or reckless party accountable for causing another person’s death. Like personal injury claims, wrongful death cases are civil in nature, meaning they are handled separately from any criminal proceedings.
If the individual responsible for your loved one’s death is also facing criminal charges, you can still pursue a wrongful death lawsuit to seek justice and compensation for your family’s loss. Your civil case will proceed independently of the criminal case handled by the justice system.
Our Spring Valley wrongful death lawyers understand how devastating these cases can be. Whether your loss resulted from a motorcycle crash along West Flamingo Road, a car accident near South Durango Drive, or a fatal collision close to Desert Breeze Park, we are here to help your family find closure and accountability.
We serve families across Spring Valley and nearby communities, from the Spanish Trail area to neighborhoods near Spring Valley Hospital Medical Center. Our team brings decades of experience to every case and approaches each one with the compassion, respect, and determination it deserves.
If you’ve lost a loved one in an accident, contact our Spring Valley motorcycle accident and personal injury lawyers today for a free consultation. We’ll listen to your story, explain your options, and help you pursue justice on behalf of your family.
Wrongful death lawsuits provide families peace and financial security as they grieve and plan to move forward with their lives. Losing a loved one is an emotionally devastating experience, often demanding time off of work to heal and deal with the logistical implications of a loved one’s death.
If you have lost a loved one who was a financial provider, a wrongful death lawsuit may ensure your family’s future financial security, compensating for the long-term loss of the decedent’s earnings.
Reach out to High Stakes Injury Law today to learn more. Call (702) 605-6671.
The statute of limitations is a time limitation on how long you have to file your lawsuit from the time of your loved one’s death. In Nevada, the wrongful death statute of limitations is two years under NRC §11.190(4)(e). Unfortunately, a lawsuit cannot often be filed after this time, so it is important to make sure that if you plan to file, you do so within this time period.

If you or a loved one were injured due to the negligent or reckless actions of others, you’re no doubt feeling overwhelmed.
