Distracted Driving Accidents in Nevada
One of the main reasons for catastrophic auto accidents in the United States is distracted driving. This negligent behavior is a major problem in Nevada, where in a recent four-year period, there were 63 recorded driver distraction-related fatalities. Nearly half of these fatalities took place in urban areas. Not surprisingly, the biggest number of distracted driving crashes in the state occurred in Clark and Washoe counties. Every year in the United States, distracted drivers result in over 3,000 fatalities and hundreds of thousands of serious injuries. In the event of a serious auto accident, drivers who neglect to pay attention to the road should be held accountable. That is often only possible when you pursue a strong injury claim with a skilled legal team.
When you share the road with irresponsible drivers, it is difficult to feel totally safe. It only takes one negligent driver to change your life and seriously injure you. To guarantee the greatest result for your personal injury claim and to safeguard your legal rights, you must be certain that you are able to pursue a strong personal injury claim.
