High-Speed Crashes in Nevada
The speed involved in a crash matters. When a driver speeds and causes a collision, the impact will be much greater, and this means the resulting injuries will be much more severe. High-speed collisions cost the American public over $40 billion every single year. More than one-third of traffic fatalities in the past 20 years have involved speeding motorists, and more than a quarter of annual traffic deaths are caused by high-speed impacts.
You can never completely control the actions of other drivers. Even if you follow all the rules of the road, it just takes the actions of a single driver to leave you with life-threatening injuries. It is an unfortunate reality that you can not avoid a crash when traveling on Nevada roadways, and that means you need to have a plan in place in the event you or someone close to you is hurt in a serious collision. No one ever plans to be involved in a car accident, but you need to know what to do in the event you are hurt by a reckless driver.
