Nevada Traffic Accidents 

In the United States, car accidents are one of the top ten reasons individuals end up with severe injuries or losing their lives. Every year, over 3 million people are hurt in traffic accidents and approximately 40,000 end up losing their lives. Daily, approximately 17,000 traffic accidents happen that injure around 7,500 people and end the lives of around 100 people in the US. 

Unfortunately, most of these crashes happen due to the negligent actions of drivers. Many different forms of negligent driving exist, including intoxication, distraction, fatigue, and speeding. In Nevada, the majority of car wrecks are caused by drivers who are speeding, intoxicated, or distracted.
