Nevada Traffic Accidents

Thousands of traffic accidents happen per day in the United States. These crashes can cause severe injuries and even death. The majority of these wrecks are caused by negligent drivers who are intoxicated, distracted, tired, or speeding.

When motorcycles become involved in accidents, motorcyclists often suffer severe or even fatal injuries due to being mostly unprotected during their travels. Motorcyclists are usually expected to be the ones who cause accidents, however, more often than not, drivers who fail to yield the right of way or keep an eye out for motorcyclists end up causing collisions.

Over the past ten years, negligent driving has become a serious problem across the country with most reported collisions attributed to driver negligence. These dangerous and problematic behaviors contribute to a substantial number of crashes yearly, resulting in injuries and fatalities. On average, across the Silver State, more than 70,000 accidents occur yearly, most of which are caused by the actions of negligent drivers. Sadly, tens of thousands of people are hurt per year in these wrecks while hundreds end up losing their lives.
