Nevada Distracted Driving Accidents in Nevada
It goes without saying that when operating a motor vehicle, you have to keep your eyes on the road. Unfortunately, a lot of drivers are distracted while driving these days.. Nationwide, a significant number of fatal auto accidents are caused by distracted driving, which is the cause of 3.1 percent of fatal collisions in Las Vegas, according to figures from the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT). The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that 3,142 fatalities in 2020 were caused by distracted driving across the country, with many more suffering serious injuries. It is important that you are ready to protect your legal rights during this difficult time.
Every time you share the road with another car, you are at risk of being involved in an automobile accident. It is hard to predict the actions of another drive, and it could be challenging to handle a serious collision.
