Nevada High-Speed Collisions
The speed involved in a crash is significant, and it often can determine the severity of the resulting injuries in the event of a collision. Everyone on the road is at risk when a driver chooses to exceed the speed limit, and speeding is known to greatly increase the risk of a crash for several reasons. Each year, tens of thousands of people nationwide are killed in high-speed collisions, accounting for nearly one-third of reported traffic fatalities in the past 20 years. In a recent year, the number of deaths caused by speeding motorists was nearly double that of those involving drunk drivers. If a driver chooses to speed and causes a life-changing auto accident, they should be held responsible for any resulting injuries and damages.
