Distracted Driving Crashes in Nevada
It's already dangerous enough to share the road with a reckless driver, but it is downright deadly when people don't pay attention to the road. It's a sad fact that distracted driving is spreading quickly across the country and is rapidly becoming one of the main causes of major accidents in the United States. Every year, drivers who aren't paying attention to the road kill more than 3,000 people and hurt hundreds of thousands more. People often text and drive, but other things that can distract a driver are talking to a passenger or fiddling with the radio. An average driver will have their eyes off the road about 10% of the time when they are distracted behind the wheel. You can get help from a trained lawyer to protect your right to a full recovery.
