Distracted Driving Accidents in Nevada
Driving is risky enough on its own. It is downright dangerous when drivers are not focused on the road. Across the nation, distracted driving is quickly becoming the leading factor in catastrophic auto accidents. According to statistics, negligent drivers cause the deaths of over 3,000 people across the United States every year, and hundreds of thousands more are seriously injured. Nevada has a unique problem with distracted driving. According to a recent five-year study by the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety (NOTS), distracted driving—which can include everything from texting while driving to talking with a passenger in the backseat—is to blame for about 4 percent of collisions in the state. You are entitled to compensation for your injuries and any damages with the help of a trained lawyer, regardless of what caused the crash.
Nevada's roads are far from safe, and it only takes one negligent driver to create a catastrophic collision that changes lives. On the state's roadways, reckless driving is commonplace and the majority of Nevadans are aware of someone who has been involved in a catastrophic accident.
