Nevada Distracted Driving Accidents
Driving is already dangerous enough. When motorists fail to pay attention to the road, it becomes outright reckless. Distracted driving is quickly becoming one of the leading contributors to serious car crashes across the country. Statistics show that more than 3,000 people are killed by inattentive motorists each year across the United States, with hundreds of thousands more suffering serious injuries. Nevada has a unique issue with driver distraction. A recent five-year study conducted by the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety (NOTS) found that nearly 4 percent of collisions in the state are caused by distracted driving, which can range from texting behind the wheel to having a conversation with a backseat passenger. No matter what caused your crash, you are entitlted to compensation for your injuries and other damages.
Nevada roadways are far from safe, and it only takes one single driver to cause a life-changing auto accident.
