High-Speed Collisions in Nevada
Speed is crucial on the road. It can mean the difference between a minor fender bender and a life-changing collision. In 2021, over 29 percent of road fatalities in the United States were caused by high-speed crashes, and a total of 12,330 people were killed by speeding drivers that year. This adds up to almost 33 fatalities per day. In the past twenty years, speeding has played a role in nearly one-third of reported fatalities nationwide. Speeding drivers who cause a devastating collision should be held responsible for any resulting injuries and other damages in the event of a crash.
