Nevada Distracted Driving Crashes
When operating a motor vehicle, you have to have your full attention on the road. Unfortunately, a lot of people in Nevada drive recklessly. Distracted driving is currently one of the leading causes of major crashes in the United States. Statistics show that in a recent year, distracted drivers were responsible for 424,000 injuries and 3,100 fatalities across the country. Engaging in small talk with a passenger, using a cell phone, or fiddling with the radio dial are all examples of distracted driving since they divert your focus from the road, even if only for a second. You may be able to file a claim for compensation to hold the negligent driver accountable for your injuries and other damages if they cause a serious crash with injuries.
Any time you drive, there is always a chance that you could get into a car accident. You could suffer life-threatening injuries in a matter of seconds due to the careless actions of another motorist.
