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 reported that year. When you speed, you run a considerably higher risk of getting into an accident for many reasons. Drivers are much more likely to lose control of their vehicles when traveling at high speeds, and the force of impact will nearly always cause much more severe injuries. If you or someone close to you is hurt in a crash, you should consult a qualified personal injury lawyer to get the most out of your case.
