Distracted Driving Accidents in Nevada
It is the responsibility of every driver to be focused on the road and avoid major collisions. Regrettably, many drivers use their phones while operating a vehicle. In Nevada, distracted driving is a major factor in many of the state's catastrophic collisions, and it is on the rise nationwide. According to data from the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), 3.1 percent of fatal collisions in Las Vegas are caused by distracted driving, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that careless drivers kill over 3,000 people annually. Reckless drivers should be held responsible in the event of a serious crash. This is often only possible when you work with a trained attorney to pursue a personal injury claim.
