Reno, NV (October 15, 2024) - On Monday, October 14, at least one person sustained injuries in the aftermath of a car crash in the Reno area. That night, around 7:20 p.m., the accident took place at the intersection of W. Plumb Lane and S. McCarran Boulevard. There were confirmed injuries at the scene, but the severity and number of the resulting damages have not been determined.
The injured parties were provided aid by attending medical personnel, and the victims needing additional treatment were later hospitalized by ambulance. The area was temporarily closed while emergency crews were present. Tow trucks were needed to clear the site of the resulting wreckage and reopen the roadway to outside traffic. No updates on the conditions of the involved parties are currently available. No additional information on the collision has been provided at this time. An ongoing investigation into the cause of the crash is being handled by local authorities, and more updates will be released as it continues.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
Nevada Distracted Driving Crashes
Every driver has a duty to pay close attention to the road. This should seem obvious, but unfortunately, far too many drivers in Nevada drive recklessly. Distracted driving is a common factor in significant car accidents around the country. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that 3,522 people were killed by distracted drivers in the United States in 2021. This is an increase of more than 12.1 percent from 2020. Cell phone use is one of the most often cited contributing factors to fatal incidents involving driver distraction. The National Safety Council (NSC) has released data showing a stunning 128 percent increase in the frequency of crashes involving drivers using portable devices in just ten years.
There are too many factors involved in a major crash to take any chances with your recovery. You need to be sure that you pursue the maximum amount of money in your claim because your entire way of life is at stake. It can be challenging to know how to maximize your recovery after an injury. If you are not successful in getting the compensation you are entitled to, you run the risk of being buried by growing medical debt and other expenses.
