Nevada Car Wrecks
Major car accidents are still the main cause of death and major injury in Nevada and across the country. Data from accidents show that 42,915 people died in car accidents across the United States in 2021. In comparison to 2020, this is a rise of about 10.5 percent. Every year, more than six million car crashes are reported nationwide, and more than three million people are hurt in these accidents, with more than two million suffering permanent injuries. Tens of thousands are killed on American roads each year, with speeding, distraction, and alcohol being common factors in serious auto accidents. It is important that you pursue a strong claim for recovery by working closely with a competent legal team.
After a car crash, it can be hard to tell if you need to hire a lawyer. In general, you should hire a lawyer as soon as you file an insurance claim with your insurance company. This is especially important if someone is seriously hurt or killed in the accident. Some people may still be able to get money even if they weren't hurt in the accident. You might still be able to get money for lost losses if you sustained significant mental or financial damages. An experienced lawyer can help you figure out what kinds of losses you may be able to get in your case to make sure your legal rights are secured.
