Nevada Distracted Driving Crashes
Every driver needs to pay attention to the road. Unfortunately, a lot of people use their phones while they're driving. Distracted driving is a big reason for many of Nevada's worst car accidents, and it's becoming more common across the country. The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) says that distracted driving is a factor in 3.1 percent of deadly accidents in Las Vegas. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says that careless drivers kill over 3,000 people every year. In the event of a major accident, careless drivers should be held accountable. When you file a personal injury claim, you can usually only do this if you work with a trained lawyer.
If someone else's carelessness leads you to get hurt in an accident, you might be able to get compensation from the at-fault party. Any person in Nevada who is hurt badly in an accident can file a personal injury claim. You should always work closely with an experienced lawyer if you want to get the most money for your recovery. It is our goal to help you throughout your recovery to ensure you get what you are owed. You don't want to be open to harm during this tough time. Big insurance companies will try to cheat you out of your fair pay if you don't have an experienced lawyer on your side—partner with a competent legal team instead of taking a gamble on your recovery.
