High-Speed Collisions in Nevada
Certain actions behind the wheel are more likely to cause a serious car accident. Speeding is a particularly reckless behavior that has been found to contribute to a high number of deadly collisions, both in the state and across the country. The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) reports that driving while intoxicated and speeding are the two main factors contributing to auto accidents across the state. In 2022, there were 396 fatalities on the state's roads, up over 2.86 percent from the year before. Every year in the United States, speeding drivers cause the deaths of tens of thousands of individuals, accounting for over one-quarter of all fatal collisions. You need to partner with a qualified attorney in order to pursue a strong claim and recover the full and fair compensation you are owed after being hurt by a speeding motorist.
