Nevada Distracted Driving Accidents
In Nevada, driving while distracted continues to be a major issue. According to a recent study, throughout a four-year period, there were approximately 63 fatal crashes in Nevada involving distracted drivers. Nearly 52 percent of these accidents happened in urban areas, with Clark County accounting for the majority of these accidents. Males from 26 to 30 make up the majority of the victims in these cases. Drivers who neglect their responsibility to pay attention to the road should be held accountable in the event of a catastrophic vehicle accident, as distracted driving causes over 3,000 deaths nationwide each year and many more serious injuries. If you or someone close to you is seriously hurt in a car crash, you should consult with a trained lawyer to pursue your case.
