High-Speed Collisions in Nevada
You are much more likely to suffer serious injuries in the event of a crash when you speed. When a driver exceeds the speed limit, it takes much longer to come to a complete stop, making it harder for drivers to respond and avoid dangers on the road. In 2021, high-speed collisions accounted for roughly 29 percent of traffic fatalities in the United States of America. There were 12,330 people killed by speeding motorists across the country that year, with almost 33 people dying daily in high-speed collisions.
In many ways, you are never completely safe while traveling on or near Nevada roadways. Even if you are the safest driver on the road, a careless driver can still cause a serious car accident.

Increased medical costs, costly vehicle repairs, and lost income are common financial damages available in an injury claim.
