Distracted Driving Accidents in Nevada
Driving requires us to focus entirely on the road, but it seems like many drivers find this to be too difficult. One of the primary causes of fatal crashes in the nation is distracted driving. In the United States, distracted driving caused 424,000 injuries and 3,100 fatalities in a recent year. According to data, one in five of these casualties were not inside of a car. Although there are numerous other forms of driver distraction, texting and driving is arguably the most common on Nevada roads. At highway speeds, you could easily cover the length of a football field in the time it takes to send one text message. Working with an experienced car crash attorney will help you preserve your legal rights if you are seriously injured in an automobile accident.
