Nevada Distracted Driving Accidents
Across the nation, distracted driving has quickly risen to the top of the list of factors contributing to catastrophic collisions. Driver distraction is a factor in about 3 percent of the recorded collisions in Nevada. According to the state's most current crash data, nine people are killed each year by distracted drivers across the state. When drivers engage in distracted behaviors behind the wheel, they will have their eyes off the road nearly 10 percent of the time. Thousands are killed each year by distracted drivers across the country, and drivers who fail to pay attention to the road should be held responsible in the event of a life-changing car accident.
