Nevada Distracted Driving Accidents
Distracted driving is a safety hazard that is growing rapidly in Nevada. Statistics show that distracted driving contributed to 62 fatalities and 63 major accidents in the state during a recent four-year study, with nearly 52 percent of these crashes taking place on city streets. Further statistics indicate that the most frequently recognized victims of distracted driving incidents were men between the ages of 26 and 30. As is typically the case, the highest number of fatal distracted driving collisions in the state occurred in Clark County. You should consult with a competent lawyer to pursue a strong claim for compensation after a life-changing crash.
It is advisable that you get in touch with an experienced lawyer who has handled personal injury cases for many years if you or someone close to you is unfairly hurt by a reckless driver. Many accident victims try to manage their personal injury claims on their own, but doing so may jeopardize your chances of recovering. To assist you in overcoming any challenges that may come up throughout your case, you need someone with the appropriate experience. The insurance company will make an effort to get in touch with you immediately if you are injured in an accident. You must use caution when speaking with the insurer. The insurance company will employ every strategy at its disposal to minimize or reject your claim entirely, which includes using what you say against you. You need a lawyer who can handle these and other conversations during your case, rather than interacting with the insurance company directly.
