High-speed Collisions in Nevada
Driving too fast can be the difference between a minor or life-threatening crash. In Nevada, high-speed collisions are not uncommon, with speeding being identified as the second most frequent cause of major collisions in the state. In addition to significantly raising the likelihood of an automobile collision, speeding also makes it more difficult for drivers to maintain control of their vehicles and respond quickly to unforeseen road hazards. In 2022, there were 396 fatalities in Nevada caused by speeding drivers, an increase of approximately 2.86 percent from the year before. Over the last two decades, approximately one-third of recorded traffic fatalities have been linked to speeding. Drivers who willfully put others at risk by neglecting the law should be held accountable with the help of a trained lawyer.
There is just so much that can be done to keep a major collision from happening. Every day, drivers in Nevada act recklessly when operating a vehicle.
