Distracted Driving Crashes in Nevada
Not just in Nevada, but around the country, distracted driving is a major contributing factor to serious collisions. A driver puts themselves and other people at danger of serious injury whenever their attention is taken off the road. Talking on the phone, interacting with passengers, texting, and other potentially risky activities can all lead to distracted driving and significantly raise the likelihood of an accident. Texting behind the wheel is incredibly risky, but unfortunately, it is a major contributor to car crashes. You can travel the length of a whole football field in the time it takes to send a single text while traveling on the highway. In the event of a catastrophic auto accident, you need to be ready to pursue a claim for compensation with the help of a trained lawyer.
