Nevada High-Speed Collisions
Speed plays an important role in the event of a car accident. In many cases, it can determine the severity of the collision and any resulting injuries. Simple physics shows that when you collide with another object at a higher rate of speed, you are more likely to suffer catastrophic injuries. This is one of the many reasons that speeding is connected with a higher risk of a serious crash. In 2021, nearly 29 percent of roadway fatalities in the United States involved a speeding driver. A total of 12,330 people died in high-speed crashes, with nearly 33 people dying every single day. Drivers who choose to speed and cause a serious crash should be held responsible for any resulting injuries and other damages.
