Distracted Driving Crashes in Nevada
Drivers who aren't paying attention cause a high number of serious accidents all over the country, including right here in Nevada. When a driver takes their eyes off the road, they put themselves and other people in danger of being seriously injured. Texting, talking on the phone, interacting with passengers, and other possibly dangerous activities can all keep you from paying attention to the road. This greatly increases the chance of an accident. It is very dangerous to text while driving, but sadly, it is a major cause of car accidents nationwide. You could travel the length of an entire football field in the time it takes to send a single text at highway speeds. After a terrible car accident, you should be ready to file a claim for compensation with the help of a trained lawyer.
