Deadly Vehicle Accidents in Nevada

Nevada Department of Transportation data shows that nearly 55,000 reported car crashes statewide in one year alone, many of them resulting in deadly consequences.

Aside from Reno and Las Vegas, a large number of these fatal incidents occurred in or around Carson City, the capital of the Silver State.

Unfortunately, these fatal wrecks are a daily fact of life in Nevada. This is particularly true when it comes to the busy streets of Las Vegas, Reno, Carson City, and beyond. Even worse, victims and families are particularly vulnerable in the aftermath of these deadly accidents.

After a serious car accident, victims typically face serious financial roadblocks on top of long-term physical issues and serious emotional trauma. When victims succumb to their injuries, their grieving family members must cope with expensive medical and funerary costs.
