Nevada Distracted Driving Crashes
Distracted driving claims the lives of about nine people every day on American roads. Statistics show that roughly 90 percent of recorded car crashes are the result of human error. Distracted driving has quickly become one of the leading causes of serious crashes in the United States, and it’s an incredibly dangerous habit. An estimated 3,000 fatal crashes are caused by distracted driving each year. Texting while driving is one of the worst offenders, with other examples of distracting behaviors including talking to passengers, messing with the radio dial, or even using a GPS. Distracted drivers will not have their eyes on the road around 10 percent of the time. In order to pursue a claim for compensation if you or a loved one is injured in an accident, you need to speak with an experienced attorney.
You never know what someone else will do behind the wheel, no matter how cautious of a driver you may be. It’s common for crash victims to suffer serious injuries and substantial financial damages after a crash. These losses can take the form of mounting medical bills, costly vehicle repairs, and missed wages as a result of being unable to return to work. The first step to ensuring that you can fairly recover from your damages after a major traffic accident is to hire an experienced attorney to represent you.
