Motorcycle accidents · Las Vegas

Riders get blamed first. That's where the work starts.

A jury sees the bike before they see the facts. Thirty years trying cases in front of Nevada juries is what pushes back on that bias.

01What this covers

The crashes riders actually deal with.

02What Nevada law actually says

Three things worth knowing before you call anyone.

The clock is running.

In Nevada, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim — three years if it's property damage only.

Being partly at fault doesn't end your case.

Nevada follows comparative negligence. You can still recover even if you were partially responsible — your award is reduced by your share of the fault, not eliminated by it. This matters most in motorcycle cases, where fault gets assumed before it's proven.

A fair recovery covers more than the bike.

Medical expenses, property damage, lost wages, reduced future earning capacity, and pain and suffering are all part of a claim — and motorcycle injuries tend to be more severe than the average car accident.

03Why call Ozzie specifically

Thirty years standing in front of Nevada juries.

Motorcycle cases are won or lost on whether a jury can see past the bike to the facts. Thirty years trying cases, AV rated by Martindale-Hubbell, listed in Super Lawyers and Best Lawyers, and named Consumer Advocate of the Year by the Nevada Justice Association in 2019 — that trial record is exactly what it takes to push back on an assumption before it decides your case.

04Straight answers

Motorcycle accident questions.

How long do I have to file a claim in Nevada?

Generally two years from the date of the accident. If it's property damage only, three years.

Does it hurt my case if I wasn't wearing a helmet?

It can be a factor insurers raise, but it does not automatically end a claim. This is worth a direct conversation about your specific situation.

The other driver says it was my fault. Can I still recover?

Yes. Nevada's comparative negligence rule means you can still recover even if you're partially at fault — your award is reduced by your share, not wiped out.

Do I pay anything up front?

No. You pay nothing unless we recover for you.
