Nevada Distracted Driving Accidents
Distracted driving is one of the main contributors to serious collisions nationwide. It's a big problem in Nevada, and 63 people were killed by distracted motorists in a four-year study. Nearly half of these crashes take place on city streets. It's not a surprise that Clark and Washoe counties had the most distracted driving accidents in the state. Distracted drivers kill over 3,000 people and hurt hundreds of thousands more every year in the United States. It is important for drivers who don't pay attention to file a personal injury claim with a reputable lawyer in the event of a major car accident.
There are careless drivers on the road, which makes it hard to feel totally safe whenever you drive. It only takes one car to bring you into a terrible accident that results in serious injuries. Making sure you can do what you need to do to protect your legal rights and make sure your personal injury claim will be successful is important. Failure to get the compensation you need to heal fully can leave you with mounting debt and damages that are too big to handle on your own. To pursue the strongest case possible, you need to work with a qualified lawyer who has years of experience helping accident victims file winning claims.
