Nevada Distracted Driving Accidents
Nearly nine people in the United States lose their lives as a result of distracted driving every day, and statistics show that human error is to blame for nearly 90 percent of documented auto accidents. Distracted driving is quickly overtaking other factors as the leading cause of serious auto accidents nationwide, and distracted motorists cause approximately 3,000 fatal crashes annually on American roads. Although there are many examples of distracted driving, texting while driving is one of the worst offenders. Drivers who fail to pay attention to the road and cause a serious crash should be held responsible for their actions. This is often only possible when you pursue a personal injury claim with the help of a skilled attorney.
