Deadly Head-on Collisions in Nevada
A head-on crash can happen when you least expect it. A driver can veer into oncoming traffic and collide with your vehicle. Statistics show that these types of accidents are more likely to result in life-changing and even fatal injuries. Many of these crashes happen in rural areas. Statistics show that almost 13 percent of rural crashes are head-on impacts. However, you can still be hurt in busy cities like Sparks or Reno. According to data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), head-on collisions have a startlingly high vehicle fatality rate of 56 percent. If someone close to you is killed in a sudden crash, you need to be ready to pursue a claim for compensation by working closely with a competent attorney.
