Nevada Distracted Driving Crashes
Distracted driving is a common cause of serious auto accidents. Drivers will take their eyes off the road approximately 10 percent of the time while they eat, text, or are otherwise distracted. Studies show that 20 percent of recorded crashes in the country are caused by distracted drivers, and this negligent behavior caused over 27 percent of auto accidents nationwide in a recent year, resulting in nine fatalities every day. Drivers who neglect the law should be held responsible in the event of a serious auto accident. You can pursue a strong claim for recovery by working closely with a competent legal team.
