Reno, NV (November 26, 2023) - A serious car accident in Reno on Sunday, November 26, required assistance from local paramedics. Emergency crews were first dispatched to the scene at around 12:29 a.m. at the corner of 15th Street and N. Virginia Street. At least one person involved in the collision sustained injuries, but the extent of those damages has not yet been determined. The injured parties were provided aid by attending medical personnel before being transferred to local hospitals for further treatment.
The roadway was temporarily closed while emergency crews were present, and tow trucks were needed to clear the site of the resulting debris and reopen the road to outside traffic. At this time, no updates on the collision have been provided. An ongoing investigation into the cause of the crash is in progress.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
High-Speed Crashes in Nevada
Speeding is incredibly dangerous. Unfortunately, it is also very common on Nevada roadways. According to findings from the National Safety Council (NSC), an estimated 30 people are killed daily by speeding drivers. In 2022, there were 11,258 people killed in high-speed collisions nationwide. Weather is also a key factor in deadly speeding-related crashes, and statistics show that almost 45 percent of fatal high-speed collisions take place on wet roadways. About 20 percent of these deadly accidents took place on dry roads.
You can never completely prevent a serious car accident from taking place. Even if you follow all the rules of the road, you cannot stop another reckless driver from crashing into you and leaving you with life-changing injuries in the process. You can then find yourself dealing with serious injuries and other damages that you are not equipped to handle. Crash victims often incur significant financial losses, including rising medical bills, lost wages due to an inability to work and vehicle repair costs, among many other potential damages. You need to partner with a trained lawyer who can help determine what damages are available in your case.
You should not leave your recovery to chance. If you depend solely on the insurance adjuster, it will do everything possible in order to limit your potential compensation. These companies are a business, and that means it is looking after its bottom line. You need someone who is there to fight for your legal rights and level the playing field.
