High-Speed Collisions in Nevada
When you drive too fast, you endanger everyone on the road, including yourself. According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there was an approximate 8 percent rise in speed-related fatalities between 2020 and 2021. A total of 12,330 people nationwide lost their life in high-speed collisions in 2021, making up around 29 percent of all road fatalities that year. For a variety of reasons, there is a significant increase in the likelihood of an accident when you speed. When driving at high speeds, drivers are far more likely to lose control of their cars, and the force of the collision almost invariably results in far more serious injuries. To maximize the value of your case, speak with an experienced personal injury attorney if you or a loved one is injured in an accident.
