Speeding-Related Crashes in Nevada
Speed is incredibly important in the event of a crash, and it can even determine the severity of any resulting injuries. High-speed collisions accounted for about 29 percent of road fatalities in the United States in 2021. That year, 12,330 people, or nearly 33 per day, lost their lives as a result of speeding drivers. 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.
