Nevada Car Crashes

Every day in the United States, there are tens of thousands of car accidents, adding up to over 17,000 collisions nationwide. These crashes result in more than 7,500 injuries and around 100 deaths per day. Accidents involving semi-trucks are particularly dangerous due to their massive size and weight, often causing severe injuries to people in smaller vehicles.

Sadly, many of these accidents are caused by negligent drivers, and, thus, they are preventable. Over the past decade, driver negligence has become a significant issue, with more than 90% of reported auto accidents attributed to it, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Common forms of negligent driving include speeding, driving under the influence, and distractions.

For instance, over 400,000 traffic accidents in the United States each year are due to driver negligence, with distracted driving alone causing over 3,000 fatalities. Fatigued driving leads to more than 100,000 collisions annually, resulting in approximately 1,500 deaths each year. Additionally, driving under the influence accounts for over 30% of the nation’s car crash fatalities.
