Nevada Car Crashes
According to statistics, Nevada has seen a sharp increase in road deaths over the previous ten years. According to a study from Zero Fatalities Nevada, the state had 304 road deaths in a recent year, greatly increasing 257 just a few years before. Washoe County, where Reno is located, experiences around 13 percent of all traffic accidents in the state. According to ongoing statistics, vehicle crashes are Nevada's main source of fatalities and major injuries, and you never know when you can be hurt in a rash.
When driving, there is always a danger that you can be hurt by a reckless driver. Insurance can ease some of the financial strain that a catastrophic auto accident might cause, but insurance companies can make things more difficult by refusing to pay your claim or unfairly reducing your compensation. Crash victims usually need to file a personal injury lawsuit in order to obtain further compensation, even if the insurance company offers them a fair settlement. This is often the only way to get the full compensation needed to achieve a full recovery.
