High-Speed Collisions in Nevada
There is always a chance of being involved in a crash when you speed, and there is good reason for this fact. Nearly 29 percent of roadway fatalities in 2021 involved high-speed collisions, resulting in 12,300 people in total. That is an average of 33 people dying each and every day. There were 11,057 deadly crashes caused by speeding drivers that year. Speeding increases the distance needed to stop a motor vehicle and also decreases the effectiveness of a car’s safety components.
Being hurt in a car crash can be an overwhelming experience. Insurance companies and claim adjusters will be reaching out to get statements from you about the crash, asking you to answer questions and sign documents. These parties do not have your best interests at heart, and they are just looking to get you to accept the smallest settlement possible. You should not get caught up in this and risk losing out on your deserved compensation. You need a skilled personal injury lawyer with years of experience handling car crash claims in order to ensure you are able to get the maximum compensation available in your situation.
