Nevada Distracted Driving Crashes
Drivers who aren't paying attention are quickly becoming one of the main causes of deadly accidents across the country. There are a lot of things that can take your attention away from the road, like texting or talking to a passenger. New studies show that it can be just as dangerous as driving after drinking alcohol. People in Nevada continue to drive while distracted, and more than half of these crashes happen on city streets. Every year, more than 3,000 people die in the United States due to distracted driving. Nevada's Clark and Washoe counties are where most careless driving accidents happen. If a careless driver hurts you or someone you care about, you should work with a trained personal injury lawyer.
