High-Speed Collisions in Nevada
Speeding is common in Nevada. It is a simple fact that speeding drivers are much more likely to cause life-changing car accidents. The fact that high speeds frequently play a role in serious collisions in the United States should come as no surprise. Driving at a high speed makes it more difficult to maintain control of your car and avoid hazards on the road. When you consider the additional distance needed to come to a stop, this combination has the potential to be fatal. A recent five-year study conducted by the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety (NOTS) found that more than 32 percent of crashes in the state result in speeding drivers, resulting in hundreds of deaths. If you or someone close to you is hurt in a collision, you should consult a trained lawyer to pursue a strong claim for recovery.
Recovering from a catastrophic car accident can be a drawn-out and difficult process. You must be sure that you are pursuing the strongest case possible in order to maximize your recovery. You do not want to take any changes during this difficult time as there is just so much on the line. Large insurance companies are known to use deceptive tactics to limit or deny valid personal injury claims. A skilled lawyer will be able to protect you and fight to win the full value of your case. These insurers deal with cases just like yours on a daily basis, and you need legal representation to level the playing field and fight for your legal rights.
