Car Accidents in Nevada
Car accidents happen every day in Nevada, and the road can be a dangerous place. Statistics show that 2022 was one of the worst years in recent memories for Nevada roadway deaths, with the majority of fatal collisions occurring in the state's two most populous cities, Reno and Las Vegas. According to data from the Nevada Department of Public Safety (NDPS), 382 traffic deaths were reported in the state that year. The number of fatal collisions in Clark County increased by over 4 percent, from 236 to 246. After a major car accident, it's critical that you have the knowledge necessary to defend your legal rights by working closely with a trained legal team.
