Distracted Driving Crashes in Nevada
Not just in Nevada, but across the country, distracted driving is a major contributing factor to serious collisions. A driver puts themselves and other people in danger of serious injury whenever their attention is taken off the road. Talking on the phone, interacting with passengers, texting, and other potentially risky activities can all lead to distracted driving and significantly raise the likelihood of an accident. Approximately 10 percent of the time when a driver is distracted, their eyes are not on the road. After a catastrophic auto accident, drivers who act recklessly behind the wheel should be held accountable for their conduct. This is often only possible when you work closely with a trained lawyer to pursue a strong claim for recovery.
You are entitled to compensation as a Nevada resident who was injured in an automobile accident. After a major collision, you want a legal team with experience that will step in and fight for the money you are entitled to. Your attorney can assist you with your case, look into the collision to identify who caused it, and even calculate potential damages. You should never let a large insurance company manage your recovery or leave it to chance. You need to take control of your destiny because there is too much on the line. A knowledgeable attorney will put you in a far better position to pursue a successful personal injury claim if you decide to file a lawsuit.
