Distracted Driving Crashes in Nevada
When operating a motor vehicle, your whole attention should be on the road, but many Nevadans drive recklessly. Distracted driving is a major contributing cause to high-profile collisions in the United States. Distracted drivers were responsible for 3,100 fatalities and 424,000 injuries on American roads in a recent year. Anything from having conversations with passengers, adjusting the radio dial, or using a cell phone are common examples of distracted driving and can divert your focus from the road, even for a brief period of time. You might be able to file a claim for compensation to hold the negligent driver accountable for your injuries and other damages by working closely with an experienced attorney.
