Car Accidents in Nevada
It is very dangerous to drive, but most of us need to use a car every day. In the past few years, there has been a notable uptick in fatal crashes in the state, according to statistics. It was reported by the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety (NOTS) that 304 people died in 285 deadly crashes in the state in a single year. Every year, thousands more are hurt in these accidents across the Silver State. More than half of crashes in Nevada involve intoxicated motorists. If you or someone close to you was hurt in a car accident, you need to work with an experienced attorney to make the best claim possible so you can get full compensation.
After you've been hurt in an accident, the insurer will reach out to gather information about the crash, but you should be careful when talking to the company's representative. If the insurance company can, they will do everything they can to reduce or even deny your claim. That is why you should not speak with them directly. Instead, you should hire a lawyer to handle those conversations and any others that come up as your claim moves forward. This can help protect your claim at every stage of the process, allowing you to focus more on your physical health and well-being.
