Nevada Car Crashes

Car crashes are unfortunately common in Nevada, with tens of thousands reported each year, leading to serious injuries and fatalities. It’s heartbreaking to know that about 700 lives are lost annually in auto collisions across the state. Nationwide, approximately 40,000 people die each year in traffic accidents, many of which are preventable and caused by negligent drivers. Every day, over 7,500 people are injured in traffic collisions across the United States, and around 17,000 accidents are reported daily. The majority of these wrecks are due to negligent driving, making our roadways more dangerous than we realize.

Negligent driving includes intoxication, distraction, fatigue, and speeding. Tragically, driver intoxication causes over 10,000 deaths annually, while speeding results in around 11,000 fatalities each year. Fatigued driving leads to over 100,000 traffic collisions annually, and distracted driving causes more than 400,000 crashes a year in the United States.
