High-Speed Car Crashes in Nevada
Speed is important, especially in the event of a crash. It might mean the difference between a serious collision and a small fender bender. High-speed collisions accounted for more than 29 percent of road fatalities in the United States in 2021. That year, speeding drivers killed a total of 12,330 people. This comes to a daily total of about 33 fatalities. In the event of a collision, the driver who chooses to exceed the speed limit should be held liable for all injuries and property damage.
