Distracted Driving Accidents in Nevada
Distracted driving is quickly growing to become one of the leading causes of serious car accidents in the United States. Nevada has a serious issue with inattentive drivers, and there were 63 reported fatalities involving driver distraction in the state in a recent four-year period. Nearly half of these deadly collisions occurred in urban areas. It should come as no surprise that Clark and Washoe counties had the highest number of distracted driving crashes in the state during that time. Distracted motorists cause more than 3,000 deaths each year across the United States, with hundreds of thousands more suffering serious injuries. Drivers who fail to pay attention to the road should be held responsible in the event of a serious car accident.
