Fatal Drunk Driving Accidents in Nevada

There are few things as dangerous as driving while drunk, and drivers who get behind the wheel and behave carelessly pose a direct threat to other drivers. In the state of Nevada, 20,130 collisions involving alcohol were reported in the past decade. A total of 7,200 people were hurt and 156 people died as a result of these crashes. There were 90 roadway deaths reported in Nevada in a recent year, and nearly 30 percent of these involve drunk motorists. We all know how dangerous it can be to get behind the wheel after having one too many, but too many in the state do it every single day. An intoxicated motorist should be held responsible for their actions in the event of a deadly accident.

Your entire way of life can be completely changed in a matter of seconds by a deadly car accident. Nobody is ever ready to deal with the death of a loved one, and you need to be certain that you can defend your family's legal rights in these trying times. Dealing with a deadly crash becomes even more difficult if you later find out that someone else's careless behavior caused the accident. You must be aware of your legal rights after a deadly crash to ensure that you are able to get the justice you and your family deserve. Following a fatal accident, family members may file a wrongful death claim under state law to recover compensation for resulting damages. However, these types of cases can be incredibly hard to manage, and you will need the help of a trained lawyer to protect your legal rights.
