Red Light Collisions in Nevada
Traffic signals and stop signs are meant to ensure everyone's safety on the road. Regretfully, when drivers disregard them, they are not very effective. Every year, a lot of drivers run stop signs and red lights and cause life-changing crashes in the process. When crossing an intersection, you should exercise caution because a major auto accident might occur at any time. Running red lights is commonplace in the United States. An estimated two people are killed daily by red-light runners, with 50,000 people injured. Statistics show that you are more likely to be hurt in a red-light collision compared to any other type of crash. Half of those killed in these crashes are outside the vehicle that ran the light. After a significant car accident, you do not want to find yourself in a challenging position where you must deal with mounting damages and other expenses. Your recovery is important, but you might easily get overwhelmed due to your new situation.
