Distracted Driving Accidents in Nevada
Nearly nine people are killed by distracted drivers in the United States every day, and data indicates that human error is to blame for almost 90 percent of reported auto accidents. Texting while driving is one of the most commonly reported cases of driver distraction, and it is a significant contributing cause of auto accidents across the nation. Crash data reveals that in the time it takes to send a single text, you could travel the length of a football field when traveling on the highway. Statistics show that drivers who are distracted will have their eyes off the road nearly 10 percent of the time. If you or someone close to you is hurt in a crash, you must take action to protect your legal rights.
Nobody plans to be a part of a catastrophic auto accident, and car crashes are a terrible reality for many Nevada residents. A strong plan is needed to pursue a full recovery after a serious collision. If your lawsuit is unsuccessful, it could impact the rest of your life. Most people are unable to pay for the substantial damages they incur after a serious crash, so you need to be sure that your legal rights are safeguarded during this difficult time.
