Nevada Distracted Driving Accidents
Driving becomes far more dangerous if you do not pay attention to the road. Every year in the United States, driver distraction results in the deaths of over 3,000 people. In a recent five-year study, the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety (NOTS) found that distracted driving was a factor in over 4 percent of fatal car crashes in the state. A driver should be held accountable for their conduct when they fail to pay attention to the road and cause a major collision.
After a car accident, the healing process is challenging and drawn out. Although it can appear that your case is clear-cut, it is actually far more difficult to successfully prosecute a claim than it first appears. It must be proven that the person who caused the accident and your injuries was negligent in some manner. It can be challenging to do this on your own, as the majority of collision victims are unaware of their legal rights. That is why you should speak with an experienced lawyer as soon as possible.
Your attorney can gather evidence to support your compensation claim. When facing off against a major insurance company, you will not have much of an argument without the relevant evidence. If you attempt to take on these companies without legal counsel, you will be severely outmatched as they deal with matters of this nature on a daily basis. You must be certain that the lawyer you choose to handle your case has the right track record in order to get the best results.
