Reno Car Accident Lawyers
A car accident can drastically change your life. At Bradley, Drendel & Jeanney Law Offices, our Reno car accident attorneys assist victims of car accidents who suffer injury through another’s negligence or wrongdoing.
Nevada and Reno accident statistics
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported 223 Nevada fatal car accidents in 2009. In Reno during the same year, there were 24 people involved in fatal accidents and one fatal accident was caused by a drunken driver. Four pedestrians also died in these accidents.
Common causes of car accidents
Many underlying factors can lead to car accidents, with some form of poor driving being the most prevalent cause—whether as a result of drunk driving or fatigue. Factors include:
- Distractions (cell phones, playing music, eating, putting on makeup, etc.)
- Falling asleep
- Driver fatigue
- Diminished faculties due to old age
- Physical impairment (poor eyesight)
- Alcohol and drugs
- Speeding
- Aggressive driving (cutting off drivers, frequent lane changes, road rage, etc.)
- Bad weather (rain, sleet, ice, snow, and fog)
- Animals in the road
- Poor road design
- Auto defects
When involved in a car accident that involves significant injury, it is vital to seek adequate compensation for injuries. Insurance companies are reticent to part with profits. They often defend against claims despite the fact that injured parties are entitled to fair compensation under the law.
A skilled attorney at our firm can investigate and evaluate your Reno injury and case to determine the cause of your accident and your rights in pursuing a Reno car accident lawsuit.
