Distracted Driving Accidents in Nevada
It is general knowledge that you must give the road your full attention when driving. Sadly, a lot of drivers continue to be distracted while behind the wheel. Distracted driving is a major nationwide issue and one of the main causes of serious traffic accidents. Data from the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) shows that distracted drivers are to blame for more than 3.1 percent of fatal auto accidents in Las Vegas. A total of 3,142 persons nationwide lost their lives as a result of distracted driving in 2020 alone. If a distracted driver causes a serious auto accident, they should be held accountable for all injuries and additional costs. This is frequently only possible if you seek a compensation claim with the assistance of a knowledgeable attorney.
