High-Speed Collisions in Nevada
A serious collision can change your life almost any time you are on the road. A driver who was speeding was responsible for about one-third of all road fatalities in the country during the previous 20 years. Each year, speeding drivers in the nation kill almost 10,000 people. High-speed impacts are the primary cause of deadly and catastrophic crashes nationwide. In the event of an accident, drivers who speed must be held accountable for any injuries they cause. Drivers who speed cause more than 32 percent of road fatalities in Nevada. When a driver breaks the law and causes a serious crash, they can be held responsible for any injuries and damages resulting from a serious collision.
