Reno, NV (May 9, 2024) - A serious auto accident in the Reno area on Wednesday, May 8, required support from local medical personnel. That afternoon around 12:13 p.m. emergency crews were dispatched to the scene at the intersection of Mill Street and S. Rock Boulevard. At least one person at the scene was injured as a result of the accident.
The roadway was temporarily closed as emergency responders provided aid to the injured parties. At this time, the severity of the resulting injuries has not been confirmed. The injured parties were later transferred to local hospitals by ambulance after being treated at the scene by attending paramedics. No updates on the conditions of the involved parties have been provided at this time. No further information on the crash is currently available. An ongoing investigation into the cause of the accident is underway.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
Nevada High-Speed Collisions
Serious auto accidents are more likely to result from specific driving behaviors. Speeding has been linked to a significant number of fatal collisions around the country. When you speed, your chances of getting into an accident are much higher. With 12,330 fatalities on American roads in 2021, high-speed crashes accounted for over 29 percent of all traffic fatalities that year. This translates to almost 33 fatalities every day as a result of speeding drivers. In a high-speed crash, your car's safety measures will not function as intended, and the resulting injuries will be significantly more serious. Because they are less able to react to road hazards, speeding drivers are also less able to stop catastrophic crashes. If you or someone close to you is hurt in a collision, you should pursue a claim for compensation with the help of a trained lawyer.
When driving on Nevada roads, there is almost always a danger of getting into a car accident. Another driver's actions are never under your control, and you can only do so much to prevent a serious crash. If you find yourself in a car accident that alters your life, you need to make sure you are ready to take legal action to pursue a full recovery. Working with a skilled attorney can help protect your legal rights if a negligent driver hurts you or a loved one. This is typically the only way to ensure that you receive the full amount of compensation to maximize your recovery.
