Common Causes for Car Accidents in Las Vegas

Our Nevada Personal Injury Attorneys Protect Your Rights

The numbers of accidents caused by distracted drivers continues to rise. There are more and more in-vehicle systems, such as back-seat video players, built-in GPS screens, and music units, as well as hand held devices that some drivers just cannot ignore. Drivers that text while behind the wheel create a significant danger to all other drivers and their passengers in Nevada.

Distracted Driving Accidents: a National Epidemic

With the rise of technology and mobile devices, distracted driving has become a national epidemic. In fact, the number of accidents from these activities has reached epidemic proportions. The agency reports that drivers using cell phones for calls or texting increase the risk of a car accident three times.

In the state of Nevada, the following laws have been implemented in an effort to eliminate distracted driving and texting behind the wheel:

  • Ban on all handheld devices for all drivers
  • Ban on all texting behind the wheel for all drivers
  • Ban on all cell phone use for bus-drivers (including handheld and hands-free devices)
  • Ban on all cell phone use for all inexperienced drivers (including handheld and hands-free devices)

Additionally, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is working hard to get auto makers and state legislators to restrict the numbers of devices built into vehicles as well as the use of cell phones. Unfortunately, despite these legislative efforts, these laws do not protect drivers from reckless and illegal driving habits.

Distracted drivers who fail to recognize how they are endangering others by distracted driving continue to violate the law. Many motorists, especially teenaged drivers, read emails, answer text messages, check social media, or take phone calls while driving. So long as drivers continue to practice unsafe driving habits, Nevada’s roads will not be safe from unnecessary harm or danger.
