Nevada Distracted Driving Crashes
It's already dangerous enough to drive. When drivers aren't paying attention to the road, it can be downright deadly. Distracted driving is quickly becoming the leading cause of fatal car crashes across the country. The statistics show that distracted drivers kill over 3,000 people every year in the United States and badly hurt hundreds of thousands more. Nevada has a special problem with drivers who aren't paying attention. A five-year study by the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety (NOTS) found that about four percent of accidents in the state are caused by distracted driving. Distracted driving can include anything from texting while driving to talking to a passenger in the car. With the help of a trained lawyer, you can get money for your injuries and any damage, no matter what caused the accident.
Nevada's roads are not always safe, and it only takes one careless driver to cause a terrible accident that changes people's lives. People in Nevada often drive carelessly on the state's roads, and most people know someone who has been in a terrible accident.
