High-Speed Collisions in Nevada
Speeding is a common sight on Nevada roads, and it has been known to play a key role in roadway safety. Speeding drivers are an active threat to everyone on the road, and a significant number of roadway deaths nationwide involve high-speed crashes. Speeding can increase the risk of a crash while also magnifying the severity of any resulting injuries. Nevada motorists are known to speed, and in 2022, a total of 396 people in the state were killed in high-speed collisions, a nearly 2.86 percent increase from the previous year. It is important that you are prepared to take legal action if you or someone close to you is unfairly hurt by a speeding driver.
There are many factors that can contribute to a crash. No matter how you were hurt, you should not held liable if you are not at fault.
