In Nevada, determining fault in a bike versus pedestrian accident can be complex, as both cyclists and pedestrians share responsibilities on the road. Both parties must adhere to traffic laws to determine who is at fault. Below, we discuss which factors influence fault in these types of accidents. If you have personally been involved in a bicycle accident that resulted in injuries or damage to your property in Reno or the surrounding areas, call The Law Offices of Kenneth E. Lyon III first. Nevada Traffic Laws for Cyclists and Pedestrians In Nevada, both cyclists and pedestrians are subject to traffic regulations. Cyclists are required to follow the same traffic laws as motor vehicles, including stopping at stop signs, yielding to pedestrians at crosswalks, and riding in the designated bike lanes where available. Pedestrians, on the other hand, are expected to use crosswalks, obey traffic signals, and avoid darting into traffic. Violating these rules can determine who holds responsibility when an accident occurs. Cyclist Negligence If a cyclist is found to be negligent, they may be held responsible for the accident. Common examples of cyclist negligence include speeding, running a red light, or failing to yield to pedestrians at a crosswalk. If the cyclist was riding on a sidewalk where it's prohibited or recklessly weaving through traffic, this can also contribute to their fault in the collision. Pedestrian Negligence While pedestrians generally have the right of way in many situations, they can still be found at fault if they acted negligently. If a pedestrian crosses the street outside of a designated crosswalk, disregards traffic signals, or steps into the path of an oncoming cyclist without warning, they may be responsible for causing the accident. Nevada law requires pedestrians to use reasonable care, so failure to do so can lead to them being held liable. Comparative Negligence in Nevada Nevada operates under a comparative negligence system, which means that fault can be shared between both parties. Compensation may be reduced if cyclists and pedestrians are both found to be partially at fault. For example, if a cyclist was 60 percent at fault and the pedestrian was 40 percent at fault, any damages awarded would be reduced accordingly.

Facing a DUI charge in Nevada can be overwhelming, but what you do next can significantly impact your case and future. To protect your rights and minimize the consequences, avoid making common mistakes that could worsen your situation. Here’s what you should steer clear of after getting a DUI in Nevada. If you’ve been arrested on a DUI charge and need a criminal defense attorney in Reno or the surrounding areas, contact The Law Offices at Kenneth Lyon III . We will provide you with the best representation in the area. Ignoring Court Dates One of the biggest mistakes is failing to attend your court hearings. Missing a court date can lead to additional charges, arrest warrants, and harsher penalties. Mark all court appearances on your calendar and show up on time, dressed appropriately. Not Hiring a DUI Attorney Trying to handle a DUI case on your own can be risky. Nevada’s DUI laws are complex, and a skilled attorney can help navigate the legal system, potentially reducing your charges or penalties. Don’t underestimate the importance of professional legal help. Driving with a Suspended License If you are arrested for DUI, your license may be suspended. Driving during this suspension can result in severe penalties, including extended license suspension and additional fines. If you need to drive, inquire about applying for a restricted license that allows some driving privileges. Failing to Request a DMV Hearing In Nevada, you have a limited window—usually 7 days—to request a DMV hearing to challenge the automatic suspension of your license. Missing this deadline means you’ll lose your driving privileges without a chance to fight the suspension. Act quickly to schedule your hearing. Not Completing Court-Ordered Programs If convicted of a DUI, you may be required to complete alcohol education courses, treatment programs, or community service. Failing to complete these requirements can result in additional penalties or even jail time. Stay on top of these obligations to avoid further legal trouble Criminal Defense Lawyers in Reno When you need a criminal defense attorney, be sure to get in touch with an experienced specialist.
