Nevada Traffic Accidents

Nevada car accidents happen hundreds of times per day. Each year, over 70,000 traffic collisions occur throughout the Silver State. Tens of thousands of people end up with injuries due to these wrecks, and hundreds end up losing their lives every year. Regrettably, the majority of these crashes happen because of negligence among drivers. Driver negligence has become a serious problem in the United States, especially in the past ten years. More often than not, drivers in the United States are traveling while intoxicated, and, some of these drivers end up causing serious auto accidents.

Negligent drivers are at fault for over 94% of auto accidents in the United States each year. Some common types of negligent driving seen among American drivers today include: 

• intoxication
• Distraction
• Fatigue
• Speeding 

For example, speeding takes the lives of more than 11,000 people every year throughout the country. Additionally, 12,000 people lose their lives each year due to drivers who are intoxicated while operating their vehicles. Fatigued driving causes more than 100,000 accidents each year and ends the lives of approximately 1,500 individuals annually, and driver distraction is behind approximately 400,000 collisions annually and more than 3,000 deaths.
