Nevada Distracted Driving Accidents
When driving, everyone should keep their eyes on the road. This should be very obvious, but a lot of drivers still do not do it. Across the nation, distracted driving is quickly becoming one of the leading causes of deadly crashes. In 2019 alone, 3,100 people lost their lives and 424,000 more were injured in crashes caused by distracted drivers. Nearly one in five of these deaths involved a victim who was not in a motor vehicle.
Nothing can ever completely prepare you for a car crash. Serious injuries can be caused by another driver's careless behavior in a matter of seconds, and your entire existence could be completely turned upside down. You most likely will not be prepared to handle the unforeseen losses that often result from a collision. It is always advised that you partner with a trained lawyer who is ready to protect your legal rights.
You should not attempt to manage the personal injury claim on your own. Instead, you should speak with an experienced attorney who has handled injury claims for many years. If a careless driver injures you, this will give you the best chance of getting the full value of your claim. Your lawyer will be able to take over negotiations and other talks with the insurance provider of the at-fault party.
