Distracted Driving Accidents in Nevada
In Nevada, driver distraction is quickly becoming one of the leading factors in catastrophic collisions. Distracted drivers were responsible for 63 traffic fatalities in the state between 2014 and 2018. Urban roads were the scene of about 52 percent of these collisions. During this period, Clark County had the highest number of crashes involving driver distraction, and each year in the United States, distracted drivers cause the deaths of over 3,000 people. Drivers who fail to pay attention to the road and cause a serious crash should be held responsible for any resulting injuries or damages.
