Nevada Car Wrecks
Auto accidents have become one of the top reasons why Americans end up with severe injuries or even losing their lives. Each day, more than 17,000 traffic accidents are reported throughout the nation. These wrecks injure around 7,500 people and take the lives of around 100 daily. In Nevada specifically, more than 70,000 auto accidents are reported annually that injure tens of thousands of people and take the lives of hundreds per year. Unfortunately, most of these accidents are caused by negligent driving, thus making them avoidable.
Negligent driving is behind over 93% of reported car crashes in the United States. These accidents are often caused by the actions of distracted, intoxicated, fatigued, or speeding drivers. These types of accidents often end in severe injuries or even fatalities due to drivers having their judgment and reaction times drastically reduced.
