Nevada Car Crashes

Car crashes happen constantly in the US and across the state of Nevada. Every day, over 17,000 car crashes occur throughout the nation. Of these wrecks, over 7,500 individuals end up injured and more than 100 turn out to be deadly. Across the past decade, auto accidents have become the main reason why American people end up losing their lives in an untimely manner. 

In Nevada specifically, more than 70,000 car crashes are reported yearly, tens of thousands of which result in injuries. Additionally, hundreds of people lose their lives each year in car wrecks in Nevada.

Unfortunately, over 90% of the car wrecks that ensue in the United States are avoidable and caused by the actions of negligent drivers. Driver negligence causes more crashes than inclement weather and vehicle problems combined. Some common forms of negligent driving include:

• intoxication
• distraction
• fatigue
• speeding
