Nevada High-Speed Crashes
A driver becomes an active risk to everyone on the road when they choose to speed. For a number of reasons, speeding is still a major factor in fatal car crashes in the state of Nevada. Speeding greatly increases the distance needed to stop and impairs your ability to control a moving vehicle. In a recent five-year study, the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety (NOTS) reported that drivers who were speeding were involved in over 32 percent of crashes in the state.
There is always a danger that you could get hurt while driving due to the actions of a careless driver. Insurance does help to lessen the financial strain that a major auto accident can cause, but insurance companies may also make things more difficult by arbitrarily reducing your payout or flatly rejecting your claim. It is typical for crash victims to need to pursue further compensation through a personal injury claim, even if they receive a fair settlement from the insurance provider.
An automobile accident can cause you to incur costly damages. The resulting injuries and losses can quickly become overwhelming.
