The latest fatal Las Vegas motorcycle accident took place at approximately 4 p.m. yesterday on Las Vegas Boulevard North near the intersection with Interstate 15 near the Apex Landfill.  The crash involved a Suzuki motorcycle and a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck.  While specific details of the crash were not available when police gave a statement on the incident, they did confirm the fatality and also stated that the driver of the pickup truck was transported to the University Medical Center.  The extent of the injuries suffered by the pickup truck driver and his or her condition were not released to the public.

First, we'd like to extend our condolences to the family of the motorcyclist who was killed.  Losing a life so suddenly is always a tremendous shock to those who were close to the person who lost his life, and we hope that the family and friends of this person are able to overcome their grief at some point.  

Unfortunately, this latest Las Vegas motorcycle accident will only add to the statistics regarding fatal Nevada motorcycle accidents.  Every year, more than 50 people are killed in these accidents, and for several years running now, that equates to at least one person every week who is killed in a Nevada motorcycle accident.

While much more needs to be released in terms of what led to this incident, if it turns out that the driver of the pickup truck was at fault for this collision, it could give rise to the possibility of the filing of a Nevada wrongful death lawsuit.  If such a claim was successful, the family of the person who was killed could be entitled to damages intended to compensate for costs incurred as a result of this accident as well as lost income depending on the facts of the case.
