Distracted Driving Crashes in Nevada
It should not have been said that drivers need to pay attention to the road at all times. While this may seem common sense, many motorists fail to do so. Across the country, driver distraction is a quickly growing issue, and it has become one of the leading causes of serious car accidents. In Las Vegas, nearly 3.1 percent of deadly car crashes involve some form of driver distraction, according to data from the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT). In 2020 alone, a total of 3,142 people were killed by distracted drivers across the United States. If a distracted motorist causes a life-changing collision, they should be held responsible for any resulting injuries and other damages.
Any time you are traveling on or near the road, you are at risk of being involved in a serious car accident. It is impossible to completely predict the actions of another driver, and serious collisions are a reality for many Nevada residents.
