Why Bicycle Accident Cases Matter in Nevada

Cyclists share the road with vehicles that outweigh them by thousands of pounds. One careless driver can cause catastrophic injuries that change a rider’s life forever. Across Nevada, bicycle accidents often leave victims with mounting medical bills, time away from work, and lasting physical or emotional trauma.

Insurance companies may try to blame the rider or minimize the value of the claim. At Cogburn Davidson Injury Lawyers, we know better. With offices in Las Vegas and Henderson, we represent injured cyclists statewide and fight for fair compensation when corporations and insurers refuse to do the right thing.
