Nevada Auto Accidents
Driving remains the leading cause of fatalities and major injuries in the United States, showing just how dangerous this habit can be. Research indicates that Nevada roadways have only gotten more dangerous with time. The number of fatal crashes and traffic fatalities in the state has increased significantly in the last ten years. According to a new report from the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), 304 people died in 285 crashes in Nevada last year. That year, almost 1,000 people suffered severe injuries as a result of auto accidents.
For most Nevadans, driving is a way of life. Most of us need to drive in order to go about our daily lives. Because we spend so much time driving, state residents are more likely to be involved in a serious accident. In a matter of seconds, a car accident can completely ruin your life and cause damage that could last a lifetime. You must take all reasonable steps to ensure that you and your family members receive the full and just compensation you are entitled to after a life-changing auto accident.
