Nevada Traffic Collisions
Car wrecks have become a serious problem in Nevada and across the country. Throughout the nation, traffic collisions have become one of the top ten reasons American citizens lose their lives each year. Additionally, car crashes are the top cause of death for people ages 15–20. Daily, over 17,000 car crashes occur across the nation that injure around 7,500 people. Sadly, about 100 people lose their lives per day in car crashes every day.
In Nevada alone, more than 50,000 car wrecks occur annually that cause tens of thousands of individuals to sustain injuries and cut short the lives of hundreds. Unfortunately, according to statistics gathered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 93% of auto collisions reported in the US are caused by negligent driving.
When you or someone you love has sustained injuries in a traffic collision that you think was caused by negligent driving, you should not have to worry about your finances to fully recover. You may have sustained serious injuries that are extremely painful and keep you from seeing your loved ones or going to work. This can be totally overwhelming and devastating for you and your loved ones. During such a difficult time, you should not have to worry about making ends meet, as you are dealing with many other issues.
Negligent driving is the main contributor to the majority of auto accidents in the US, so yours was likely caused by the actions of a distracted, intoxicated, exhausted, or speeding driver. These four dangerous actions are the most common types of negligence displayed among American drivers today.
