Distracted Driving Crashes in Nevada
Drivers need to pay attention to the road anytime they get behind the wheel of a car. Many Nevadans don't follow this simple rule of the road, which greatly increases the risk of a crash. There have been a lot more distracted drivers on the state's roads in recent years. The Nevada Office of Traffic Safety (NOTS) found that drivers who are not paying attention are involved in nearly four percent of deadly accidents in the state. When you look at the data, men aged 15 to 21 are most likely to be hurt in these kinds of crashes. Every year in the United States, thousands of people are killed by distracted drivers. People who have been hurt may be able to get relief by working with a trained attorney.
As much as you try, you can't always avoid a major car accident. People in Nevada are known for being reckless on the road, so you should be ready if you or someone you care about gets hurt in a terrible car accident. Making a claim for compensation by yourself can be hard, and you may be worried about what you should do to get the most money for your recovery.
