Nevada Speeding-related Crashes
You run a chance of being seriously hurt in an accident at almost any time, but it is always much greater if you drive faster than the legal speed limit. It is more difficult for you to prevent car crashes that could change your life for many reasons. One reason is that you are less able to control the vehicle and stop it in time to avoid a collision. In Nevada, drivers who speed are at fault for approximately 32 percent of reported collisions, and across the United States, high-speed collisions claim the lives of over 10,000 people annually, making up over 25 percent of all collision fatalities. In the event of a high-speed crash, your car’s safety features will not work as intended. Speed limits are in place to make the road safer for everyone, but they are not effective when drivers fail to follow them.
After a catastrophic crash, your life might never be the same. You must be certain that you can make a full recovery in any way possible. An automobile accident can result in serious losses, such as missed income, hospital expenses, and vehicle repair costs. You may be able to recover lost compensation by filing a personal injury claim.
