Nevada Distracted Driving Crashes
While almost anything can result in an automobile accident, distracted driving is one of the leading causes of catastrophic crashes in the country. Distracted driving is defined as any activity that takes a driver's focus away from the road, including texting, chatting on the phone, eating, and utilizing in-car entertainment systems. About 3,000 people die as a result of distracted driving in the United States each year, accounting for roughly 8 to 9 percent of all road fatalities. Nine people are thought to be killed by distracted drivers every day. In the event of a serious auto accident, drivers who are distracted and lose focus on the road should be held responsible. If you or someone close to you is hurt in a crash, you should consult with a qualified lawyer to pursue a claim for compensation.
No matter how cautious you are behind the wheel, you could still get hurt by another driver at any time. Many drivers act irresponsibly when operating a vehicle, and in the case of a severe crash, innocent bystanders may sustain life-changing injuries. You need to be ready to protect your legal rights if a careless driver injures you or someone you love. Making a compensation claim on your own might be very difficult.
