Deadly Car Accidents in Nevada
Driving a car is one of the riskiest things we do on a daily basis. Reno is a city that is expanding quickly, with thousands of accidents reported annually and a high number of drivers on the road. Between 2016 and 2020, 237,338 automobile accidents were reported in the city. According to statistics, 100,060 of these crashes resulted in injuries, while 135,789 of them caused property damage. Intoxicated drivers account for nearly half of recorded auto accidents in Nevada, which continue to be the state's primary cause of fatalities and serious injuries. Managing the aftermath alone after a fatal accident can be challenging. In a wrongful death claim, having a skilled attorney at your side might help you get the most out of your case.
