Nevada Distracted Driving Accidents
Distracted driving claims the lives of almost nine people in the United States every day, and about 90 percent of recorded car crashes are caused by human error. Distracted driving is extremely dangerous and, according to data, is fast rising to the top of the list of causes of serious auto accidents across the country. Every year, driver distraction results in over 3,000 fatal collisions. Texting behind the wheel is one of the worst offenders, but there are many other potential examples of distracted driving that have less of a stigma, including talking with passengers and even messing with the radio dial or using a GPS. Drivers who are distracted behind the wheel will have their eyes off the road nearly 10 percent of the time.
When you share the road with another driver, you can never be completely safe. There isn't much you can do to stop another irresponsible driver from injuring you on the road, no matter how safe of a driver you may be. It is common for victims of auto accidents to sustain severe injuries on top of substantial damages. These losses may consist of mounting medical expenses, costly auto repairs, and missed wages as a result of being unable to return to work.
