As motorcyclist deaths peak in Las Vegas, one of the city's oldest law firms shares online guidance to help riders stay safe.
(PRUnderground) May 20th, 2024
The month of May marks Motorcycle Awareness Month, and with an uptick in motorcycle crashes in Las Vegas in 2024, the observance feels especially important. Tingey Injury Law Firm, one of Vegas’ oldest personal injury law firms, is using its website to draw attention to motorcycle safety in hopes of reversing the climbing motorcycle casualties.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department attributed the growing number of motorcyclist deaths to reckless driving, and Tingey’s accident attorneys are sharing online content to urge greater caution for both motorcyclists and car drivers. “We’re hoping that by recapping the most critical safety tips, Vegas drivers will think twice before they do things that could endanger lives,” said Dean Tingey, Vegas native and firm attorney.
Clark County, where Vegas is located, started the year off with a 200% year-over-year increase in motorcycle crash fatalities. This tracks with national trends. For example, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently released its 2022 traffic death report, which included 6,218 motorcyclist deaths — the most since 1975.
Many motorcycle accidents are highly preventable. Drivers merging into lanes without checking their blind spots, texting while driving, driving under the influence, and traveling at high speeds are all common factors in fatal accidents involving motorcyclists. And motorcyclists commonly endanger their own lives by lane splitting (moving between cars), riding on the shoulder, or riding under the influence.
Since Tingey Injury Law Firm opened 50 years ago, its traffic accident attorneys have represented many motorcycle crash victims and seen firsthand the effects of careless driving. “Getting lax or cavalier on the road can lead to complete devastation,” said Tingey. “We have seen traumatic brain injuries, spine injuries, and death, with family members left to pick up the pieces.”
The team at Tingey Injury Law Firm hopes that May brings more awareness to the roads, particularly for those on motorcycles. Their information on both motorcycle safety and representation for motorcycle and automotive accident victims can be found at www.TingeyLawFirm.com.
