Car Crashes in Nevada
One of the most dangerous things we do nearly every day is driving a motor vehicle, and data indicates that the risk of being involved in a crash is rising year after year. Both roadway fatalities and major crashes have increased significantly in Nevada during the past ten years. The Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) reports that there were 285 fatal collisions in the state last year, accounting for 304 fatalities in total. That year, more than a thousand people were injured in auto accidents.
When driving on the road, there is always a chance that you could get hurt in an accident. Nobody ever wants to get into a serious vehicle accident, but sadly, many people in this state are hurt on the roads each day. After a major auto accident, you should be able to seek full compensation for your injuries and other damages, including lost wages and other unexpected expenses. This often involves working with a lawyer who has experience with these kinds of cases.
You have to understand that you are not alone if a careless driver leaves you with injuries. You may be able to recover lost compensation for your injuries and other damages. You can file a personal injury claim and recover lost compensation by working with an experienced auto accident attorney. Never let a large insurance firm handle your recovery. This can put you in a difficult situation, and there is a strong chance the insurer will not offer a fair settlement.
