Nevada Car Crashes

It’s heartbreaking to know that around 700 lives are lost annually in auto collisions across the state. What’s more, approximately 40,000 individuals lose their lives each year nationwide in traffic accidents. Many of these incidents can be prevented and are caused by negligent drivers. In addition, every day, more than 7,500 people are hurt in traffic collisions throughout the United States. Also, about 17,0000 accidents are reported daily across the nation. When we consider the fact that the majority of these wrecks are caused by negligent driving, we realize that the roadways throughout the country are much more dangerous than we even know.
Negligent driving takes various forms, including intoxication, distraction, fatigue, and speeding. Shockingly, driver intoxication claims over 10,000 lives annually, while speeding contributes to around 11,000 fatalities each year. Fatigued driving leads to over 100,000 traffic collisions annually, and driver distraction causes more than 400,000 crashes a year in the United States.
