Nevada Distracted Driving Crashes
The road is far from safe, but it's even more dangerous when drivers don't pay attention to the road. One of the main reasons contributing to major car accidents in the United States is drivers who aren't paying attention. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says that in a recent year, 324,000 accidents were caused by drivers who were distracted. Teenagers and young adults make up the largest demographic in these kinds of accidents, accounting for nearly seven percent of related deaths. Texting while driving is the worst offense, but this is just one example of many types of distracted driving that happen a lot on Nevada roads. You should work with a trained lawyer to make sure you can fight for your legal rights after a life-changing auto accident.
Every time you drive on the road, there is a chance that you could get hurt in a crash. No one ever plans to be in a major car accident, but every day in this state, a large number of Nevadans are injured by reckless motorists.
