Nevada Distracted Driving Accidents
When driving a car, you have to focus on the road, but distracted driving is becoming more and more widespread throughout the country. Texting while driving is among the most well-known and common instances of driver distraction. You can travel the length of a football field in the time it takes to send a text while driving at highway speeds, which is more than enough distance to result in a car crash that might seriously alter someone's life. In one calendar year, distracted drivers in the United States resulted in 424,000 injuries and nearly 3,100 fatalities. Statistics show that someone outside a car was involved in one in five of these deaths. Your recovery after a crash may depend on the actions you take, and it is always in your favor to partner with a trained lawyer to maximize your recovery.
