High-speed Collisions in Nevada
You put yourself and other drivers in danger when you drive too fast. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that between 2020 and 2021, the number of fatalities attributable to speeding increased by about 8 percent. In 2021, 12,330 individuals lost their lives in high-speed collisions across the country, accounting for approximately 29 percent of all road fatalities documented in that year. When you speed, you run a considerably higher risk of getting into an accident and the severity of your injuries will usually be much worse. Drivers who willfully put others at risk by speeding should be held responsible for their actions, and this is often only possible when you pursue a personal injury claim with the help of a trained lawyer.
