Distracted Driving Crashes in Nevada
There are some things that greatly increase the risk of a crash. A driver will take their eyes off the road almost 10 percent of the time while distracted, and nearly every day, nearly nine people die in distracted driving crashes in the United States. About 90 percent of all crashes are caused by human error. Distracted driving is quickly becoming the main reason for car accidents in the United States, according to new data. Over 3,000 people are killed every year in car accidents involving distracted drivers. At highway speeds, you could cover the length of a football field in the time it takes to send a text message. It is important that you partner with a trained legal team after a serious crash to protect your right to a full recovery.
After a car accident, your whole way of life can be at risk. Most people can't cover the expenses caused by a serious car accident, so you need to make sure your legal rights are protected.
