Car Crashes in Nevada
One of the most dangerous things Nevadans do practically every day is drive a car. According to statistics, intoxicated drivers are one of the main causes of collisions throughout the state, accounting for over 47 percent of all traffic fatalities in the Silver State. You never know if or when you will be involved in a serious crash, and a collision can completely change your life for the worse. Nevada is a state with a relatively low population, but it makes up for this with a high number of miles traveled on the roadways. Cities like Reno and Las Vegas attract thousands of people each year for business and travel. Negligent drivers are known to make poor choices behind the wheel and cause catastrophic auto accidents, putting everyone on the road at risk of serious injury. Unfortunately, it is very common for people to be injured when sharing the road. In some cases, victims can face permanent injuries that will stay with them for the rest of their lives. It is likely that you will sustain life-changing injuries that you not ready to handle, including spinal cord injuries, traumatic head injuries, sprains, and more.
