Distracted Driving Crashes in Nevada
It's important for drivers to pay full attention to the road, but it seems like most people are having a hard time with this. Distracted driving is quickly becoming a major cause of serious crashes in the United States. A recent study found that distracted driving killed 3,100 people and hurt 424,000 others nationwide. Of these deaths, one in five were not in a car. One type of driver distraction is texting while driving, but it's just one of many. At highway speeds, it's easy to go the length of a football field in the time it takes to send one text message. If you get hurt in a bad car accident, you need to work with a trained car accident lawyer to protect your legal rights.
