In the vibrant streets of Las Vegas and surrounding area, where the sun shines bright and unforgiving gas prices rise, there's a growing trend: moped riding.

While these two-wheeled wonders offer a convenient and eco-friendly way to navigate the city, it's essential to recognize the importance of proper training to avoid getting in an accident. It’s a fact. Your moped, motorcycle or scooter is often more difficult to see for other drivers, and do not have the frame of a vehicle surrounding you to protect you in a collision… so you get the worst of it no matter who’s fault it is.

To become extra aware on the road, did you know, some motorcycle training programs also cater to teaching moped riders? These courses offer invaluable lessons on safety, road etiquette, and maneuvering techniques specific to mopeds. But why bother with training? Well, inexperience and lack of knowledge can turn a leisurely ride into a risky venture that can cost you more than a course's registration fees - you could get seriously hurt in an accident, and be at fault at the same time.

By enrolling in a training course, riders gain confidence, learn defensive driving strategies, and understand the rules of the road. These skills not only protect the rider but also ensure the safety of those around them. Some local governments provide courses, making it even easier to access quality training.

And if you are ever injured in an accident while on your moped, our team at Anthem Injury Lawyers can handle your case the right way, with the care and attention you deserve.

Welcome back to Ask Anthem Anything! Today our listener's question is: "Can I sue Lyft or Uber for my rideshare accident in Nevada? And how does being a drunk passenger affect a lawsuit?"

In Nevada, if involved in a rideshare accident, know your legal options. Suing Lyft or Uber will depend on whether the driver was negligent and whether that negligent caused you to sustain injuries. Being a drunk passenger doesn't bar a lawsuit, but it complicates matters. Comparative negligence laws apply, considering your intoxication's role in the accident if any. So, if your intoxication contributed to your injuries, along with the rideshare driver’s negligence, that would be taken into account. If your intoxication was the 51% or more cause of your injuries, then you could be barred from recovering against the rideshare company and driver.

Honesty and cooperation are crucial. Seek medical attention promptly, documenting injuries. Consult a seasoned attorney experienced in Nevada's laws for rideshare accident cases. Time is critical due to statutes of limitations. Ultimately, suing Lyft or Uber hinges on your case specifics and how intoxication may influence it.

Legal counsel helps navigate complexities and pursue rightful compensation. Thank you for listening and if you’ve been hurt in a rideshare accident, please contact us today for a free consultation! Call (702) 745-2381 or visit our site at anthem injury law.com

Welcome to another Ask Anthem Anything podcast! With ride-sharing so popular these days, another question we get asked a lot is “how long do I have to file a personal injury claim against a company like Uber?”

As with any car crash in Nevada, you don’t want to delay finding an attorney and making a claim for your injuries against the ride-share company right away. Although the statute of limitations to file a lawsuit is two years, there’s no need to wait that long to get your claim started with the insurance company. If, however, you or your attorney are unable to resolve your client prior to filing a lawsuit, the next step is usually to file suit within that two-year period. If you miss that window, you risk losing any right you have to compensation. That's where a Las Vegas Uber accident lawyer like our team at Anthem can help. We’ll investigate and bring your claim against the insurance company and, if necessary, in court, while you recover from your injuries.

Rideshare accidents often involve multiple parties, but don't let Uber’'s influence deter you. As a passenger, you can hold the following parties accountable: the driver who hit your Uber, your Uber driver if he or she was negligent or violated traffic laws, and the Uber company itself.

Engage one of our Uber accident lawyers here at Anthem in Las Vegas to ensure your rights are protected and corporate defendants are addressed effectively. Understand your options, act within the statute of limitations, and seek legal guidance to navigate the aftermath of a Uber accident in Nevada. Thanks for tuning in!
