Reno, NV (May 16, 2024) – On Wednesday, May 15, at least one person sustained injuries in the aftermath of a car crash in the Reno area. Late that evening around 9:02 p.m., the accident was first reported at the crossing of Lemmon Drive and US-395 NB. The injured parties were provided aid at the scene by attending medical personnel.
Ambulances were available to transport the involved parties to nearby hospitals for further treatment. At this time, the circumstances leading to the crash have not been determined. The severity and number of the resulting injuries were not reported by local sources. The roadway was temporarily closed while emergency crews were present. The site was later reopened after tow trucks were able to remove the resulting debris. Local law enforcement officials are in charge of the ongoing investigation into the cause of the accident.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
Nevada Distracted Driving Crashes
A driver must always keep their full attention on the road when operating a motor vehicle. Unfortunately, there are a lot of irresponsible drivers in Nevada. Distracted driving is becoming a major factor in serious collisions in the United States. Statistics show that during a recent year, distracted drivers were responsible for 3,100 fatalities and 424,000 injuries in crashes. Distracted driving occurs when you divert your focus from the road, even for a brief period of time. Examples include talking to a passenger, using a cell phone, and fiddling with the radio dial. You may be able to file a claim for damages and hold the negligent driver accountable if they cause you harm while driving carelessly and fail to pay attention to the road.
Driving carries the constant risk of being involved in an accident. It only takes a few seconds for you to sustain severe injuries due to the careless driving of another driver. In many ways, your very way of life can be on the line, and you probably will not be prepared to handle the unanticipated losses that often follow a life-changing auto accident. To protect your legal rights, you must take immediate action and begin pursuing legal action against the at-fault party. A strong case could mean the difference between a full recovery and a challenging life of rising debts, and you must partner with a qualified lawyer to pursue the most for your case.
