Distracted Driving Accidents in Nevada
Distracted driving has quickly become one of the main reasons for major accidents across the country, and it's also a big problem here in Nevada. More than half of the fatal crashes in Nevada involving distracted driving happen in cities like Reno and Las Vegas, with most taking place in Clark and Washoe counties. Over 3,000 people die, and hundreds of thousands are seriously hurt every year in the United States due to driver distraction. Drivers who don't pay attention should be held responsible in the event of a serious crash. This often means working closely with a competent legal team.
The road can be dangerous, and you're never really safe when you're sharing the road with another driver. One careless person is all it takes to change your life. After a major car accident, you need to be sure that you can do what you need to do to get better as quickly as possible. If you can't get the money you need to cover your losses, you might be left with too much debt and injuries that you are not ready to deal with.
