Car Accidents in Nevada
We Nevadans drive all the time, but this only increases the chance of a serious crash. The number of fatal car accidents in the state has gone up significantly in the past decade according to recent trends. Nevada's Office of Traffic Safety (NOTS) reports that there were 285 fatal car accidents in the state in a single year, killing 304 people. More than a thousand people are hurt in car crashes across the state each year. Statistics show that 43 percent of car accidents in Nevada are caused by drunk drivers, showing just how reckless drivers in the state can be. It can be hard to handle the fallout of an accident by yourself. To get full compensation for your injuries, you should work with an experienced lawyer.
