High-Speed Collisions in Nevada
Speed limits are in place to make the road safer for everyone. Sadly, many drivers fail to follow these imposed limits. Speed is very important in the event of a crash, and it can often make the difference between a small accident and one that leaves people with injuries that will change their lives. In 2021, 12,330 people died because of drivers who were speeding on American roads. That's more than 29 percent of all traffic deaths that year. This means that, on average, 33 people die every day in high-speed impacts. In the last 20 years, speeding has been linked to more than one-third of all deaths in the country. Reckless drivers should be held accountable in the event of a crash. If you were hurt, you should talk to a trained lawyer who is ready to fight for your full recovery.
