High-Speed Collisions in Nevada
Speeding greatly increases your risk of being involved in a serious collision. Tens of thousands of people lose their lives every year as a result of the actions of speeding drivers. In 2021, high-speed collisions claimed 12,330 lives on American roadways, accounting for nearly 29 percent of all traffic fatalities in the country that year. Speeding makes it harder for you to maintain control over your car while also increasing the distance required to come to a complete stop. Unfortunately, speeding continues to be prevalent on Nevada roads. Drivers who speed regularly should be held accountable in the case of a severe collision.
