Nevada Traffic Accidents

Nevada drivers are approximately 21% more likely to be involved in a traffic accident during their driving career than drivers in any other state. They are also estimated to be involved in an automobile accident approximately once every 8 years. Due to these alarming statistics, Nevada drivers are ranked as some of the absolute worst drivers in the United States. 

In the largest city in Nevada, Las Vegas, there are a reported 12,000 annual traffic accidents per year. Overall, Nevada sees more than 300 deaths per year due to fatal traffic collisions. Thousands more are injured due to these crashes that are often caused by negligence. Distracted driving, intoxication, and speeding are all leading causes of Nevada traffic accidents.
