Speeding-Related Crashes in Nevada
Speed is a crucial part of roadway safety. It can often prove the difference between a minor accident and one that causes life-changing injuries. In 2021 alone, speeding drivers claimed the lives of 12,330 individuals on American roads, accounting for over 29 percent of all road deaths. This comes to a daily total of about 33 fatalities. Over the last two decades, over one-third of all reported fatalities in the country have been linked to speeding. In the event of a collision, speeding drivers should be held accountable for all injuries and other damages.
