Distracted Driving Crashes in Nevada
One of the main factors contributing to catastrophic collisions in the country today is driver distraction. According to statistics, distracted drivers cause the deaths of nine people every day in the United States, and driver error is to blame for about 90 percent of reported car accidents. One of the most well-known types of distracted driving is texting and driving. When driving at highway speeds, you can cover the length of a football field in the time it takes to send a single text—more than enough distance to result in a serious collision. Statistics show that distracted drivers have their eyes off the road nearly 10 percent of the time, victims of accidents should be prepared to defend themselves by working with an experienced legal team to pursue a compensation claim.
