High-Speed Collisions in Nevada
What you do behind the wheel can impact road safety. In Nevada, one of the most common reckless driving habits is probably speeding. When a driver exceeds the speed limit, they run the risk of losing control of their car and becoming an active threat to everyone on the road. Over 32 percent of car accidents in the Silver State are caused by speeding, according to research done by the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety (NOTS), and in the past 20 years, speeding drivers have been accountable for about 25 percent of road fatalities in the United States. If a negligent driver caused you harm on a Nevada road, you should pursue lost compensation with the help of an experienced car accident lawyer.
