Nevada High-Speed Collisions
The speed at the time of the accident is important. It can potentially be the difference between a minor fender bender and a devastating collision. In 2021, over 29 percent of road fatalities in the United States were caused by high-speed collisions. A total of 12,330 persons were killed by speeding drivers that year. This adds up to almost 33 fatalities per day. The driver who chooses to go faster than the speed limit should be held accountable for all injuries and property damage in the event of an accident.
