Bicycle Accident Claims in Nevada

A person riding a bicycle (or electric bicycle or scooter) on a roadway has all the rights and duties of a vehicle driver, except for special bicycle rules. A driver passing a bicycle must move into the lane to the left when there is more than one lane in that direction and it is reasonably safe, or otherwise pass at a distance of at least 3 feet. Cyclists generally ride as near the right side as practicable, with exceptions such as keeping up with traffic, turning left or avoiding unsafe conditions, and may not ride more than two abreast except on bicycle paths.

The plaintiff's comparative negligence does not bar recovery if it was not greater than the negligence of the defendant or the combined negligence of multiple defendants; the jury finds total damages and each party's percentage of negligence, and damages are reduced accordingly.

Owners of registered vehicles must continuously carry liability insurance of at least $25,000 per person and $50,000 per crash for bodily injury and $20,000 for property damage.

Two years for an action to recover damages for injuries to a person caused by the wrongful act or neglect of another (with exceptions in NRS 11.215 and 11.217). Two years also applies to libel, slander, assault, battery and false imprisonment.
