Speeding-related Accidents in Nevada
You significantly raise your risk of getting into a car accident if you speed. Sadly, you are powerless to prevent an irresponsible driver from losing control of their vehicle and colliding with you on the road. It is well established that speeding significantly raises the chance of an accident and increases the severity of any resulting injuries. Speeding drivers have less control over their vehicles and are less able to stop in time to avoid unexpected collisions. Every year, over 10,000 people lose their lives as a result of speeding on American roads. Data from the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety (NOTS) show that speeding drivers are responsible for about 32 percent of traffic fatalities in Nevada. If you or a loved one is hurt in a high-speed crash, you should be prepared to file a lawsuit with the help of a trained lawyer.
