Distracted Driving Accidents in Nevada
Nevadan drivers have a bad reputation for reckless driving, which includes texting behind the wheel. Even something like using the GPS or having a discussion with a passenger can be examples of distracted driving, with others including texting and driving or using your phone to watch a video. Drivers who engage in these behaviors over 10 percent of the time take their eyes off the road for a while, which significantly raises the chance of a collision. If you or someone close to you is unfairly hurt in a car accident, you need to be ready to pursue a strong claim for compensation with the help of a competent legal team.
