Car Crashes in Nevada
With a population of 2.3 million, Nevada is home to several thriving cities with miles of wide highways and city streets. The state has a bad reputation for road safety, despite being well-known for the glamour of Las Vegas. In a recent year, there was a nearly 3.3 percent increase in auto accidents across the state. According to statistics, 2021 was the fifth deadliest year for car crashes in the previous 30 years in the state. There were only three fewer traffic fatalities in 2022, meaning that the road had continued to be a dangerous place. In Nevada, driving under the influence and speeding are the main causes of serious auto accidents. As a crash victim, you have legal rights. One of these rights is the ability to file a personal injury claim in order to achieve a financial recovery. The claims process can be long and exhaustive, but it is often the only way to achieve a full recovery in the event of a life-changing crash. You do not want to leave your recovery to chance. Instead, work to fight for your legal rights as soon as possible.
