Wearing a bicycle helmet can reduce a bicyclist’s risk of suffering a minor injury by 50% and a serious head injury by nearly 70%. Helmets can also reduce a cyclist’s risk of fatality by 65%. With only two exceptions limited to Indian reservations, Nevada law does not require cyclists to wear helmets. However, the statistics show that these safety devices save lives and reduce a cyclists risk of their name becoming yet another statistic.

Nevadans should avoid driving in the dangerous blind spots around large trucks. Because of their size and design, blind spots exist behind and on either side of large trucks. It can be very difficult for truck drivers to see motorists who are traveling in these areas. When drivers make the mistake of driving in these locations, they are at a much greater risk of being involved in truck accidents. When an accident is caused by a truck driver’s negligence, a truck accident attorney may help the victims to recover damages. If the other motorist causes the accident through his or her own negligence, however, he or she might not have the valid grounds to file a claim against the truck driver or the company for whom the driver works.

Nevadans who work in noisy facilities may suffer from work-related hearing loss, and they may be able to recover workers’ compensation benefits for their conditions. Workplaces have to follow rules that have been promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) about workplace noise exposure. A workers’ compensation attorney may help people who have suffered occupational hearing losses to recover benefits to pay for their medical expenses. If workers are left either partially or totally disabled, the lawyer can help them try to receive monthly disability benefits so that they can have ongoing financial support.

Recent studies reveal that Nevada drivers may be some of the worst in the nation, and their poor driving behaviors result in thousands of car accidents every year. While some of these crashes are minor, others cause serious and even life-threatening injuries. Regardless of the severity of these motor vehicle mishaps, one thing is certain- many of the behaviors that cause them can and should be avoided. Ranked for 2016 as the state with the seventh worst drivers in the nation, it appears that Nevada’s motorists have a lot to work on.
