Distracted Driving Accidents in Nevada
Distracted driving is a major problem on Nevada's roads. It has quickly risen to become one of the leading contributors to major collision causes in the nation. In the United States, distracted drivers caused 424,000 injuries and 3,100 deaths in a recent year. Additional statistics indicate that about 50 percent of these victims were not inside a moving vehicle at the time of the accident. Texting while driving is one of the most often listed activities among drivers between the ages of 15 and 20, who have a higher risk of being involved in distracted driving-related incidents. Distracted driving comes in many forms, with texting being just one of many. Other examples of this careless conduct include eating, using a phone, and even having a conversation with a passenger. In the event of a serious auto accident, drivers who do not pay attention to the road should be held accountable for their actions, and this is often only possible if you are able to pursue a strong personal injury claim to achieve a full financial recovery. Your very way of life can be on the line after a life-changing crash, and you should do everything possible to make sure your case is as strong as possible.
