High-Speed Crashes in Nevada
Speeding is a harmful behavior that is common in Nevada. Tens of thousands of people lose their lives in speeding-related accidents each year. Nearly 26 percent of roadway fatalities in the country are attributed to speeding drivers, who are estimated to kill 25 people each day. Speeding increases the power of an impact, reduces your control over your vehicle, and increases the time needed to come to a complete stop. These consequences significantly raise your chance of experiencing severe injuries in an accident.
Your life may be changed forever if you sustain serious injuries in an automobile accident.
