High-Speed Collisions in Nevada
Speed can play a pivotal role in the outcome of a car crash. It could mean the difference between a serious collision and a minor fender-bender. High-speed crashes accounted for about 29 percent of road deaths in the United States in 2021. That year, speeding drivers contributed to 12,330 fatalities, with nearly 33 people dying daily in high-speed crashes. In the event of a collision, the driver who chooses to exceed the speed limit should be held accountable for all injuries and property damage.
