Car Accidents in Nevada
Each year, over three million people are injured in car crashes, with about two million of those victims suffering permanent injuries. According to statistics, a deadly collision occurs somewhere in the United States every 16 minutes on average. 2020 was one of the deadliest years ever for Nevada's roadways, with hundreds of fatalities that year. The road can be an unexpected place, and statistics show that nearly half of all crashes in Nevada involve a drunk driver. It is important that you are able to protect your legal rights after a serious auto accident by working closely with a competent legal team.
Not only are you riding a wave of emotions that you are probably finding hard to control on your own, but you may never be able to live a normal life after a major crash.
