Nevada Distracted Driving Crashes
Almost anything can cause a car crash, but one of the main causes of serious collisions nationwide is distracted driving. Any activity that diverts a driver's attention from the road is considered distracted driving, from texting, talking on the phone, eating, and using in-car entertainment systems. In the United States, distracted drivers cause the deaths of almost 3,000 people annually, contributing to nearly 8 to 9 percent of traffic fatalities. An estimated nine people are killed daily by distracted drivers. Drivers who are distracted and fail to pay attention to the road should be held accountable in the event of a catastrophic vehicle accident.
Another driver can leave you with injuries at almost any time, no matter how safe of a driver you may be. Many drivers engage in careless actions while operating a vehicle, and in the event of a catastrophic auto collision, innocent victims can become seriously hurt. If you or someone close to you is hurt by a reckless driver, you must be prepared to defend your legal rights. Pursuing a claim for compensation on your own can be extremely challenging. It is common for crash victims to suffer substantial damages on top of severe injuries, so you need someone by your side who is ready to fight for your full recovery. Your claim will be handled by an experienced lawyer, allowing you to devote all of your time and energy to your physical well-being and recovery.
