Las Vegas Trike Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

The law states that a vehicle making a left turn must wait to turn until it can safely do so.  This law usually places the driver who was making a left turn prior to an accident liable and at fault.

There are a few exceptions to the rule:

• The vehicle traveling straight ran a stop sign or red light.
• The vehicle traveling straight was speeding.
• For safety reasons the left turning vehicle had to slow down and stop mid turn.
