Why Highway Accidents Are So Severe

Highways connect Nevada’s major cities and rural areas, but they are also the site of some of the state’s most devastating crashes. High speeds, distracted driving, impaired motorists, and commercial trucks all combine to create life-threatening conditions. Victims often face catastrophic injuries, long hospital stays, and the overwhelming stress of dealing with insurance companies that are determined to minimize payouts.

At Cogburn Davidson Injury Lawyers, we prepare every highway accident case as if it is going to trial. We do not accept low offers designed to protect corporate profits. With offices in Las Vegas and Henderson, we represent accident victims across Nevada with compassion and relentless advocacy.

Common Causes of Highway Accidents in Nevada

Highway crashes are almost always preventable. The most common causes include:

  • Speeding and reckless driving
  • Drunk or drug-impaired driving
  • Distracted driving, including texting at high speeds
  • Driver fatigue, particularly with long-distance truckers
  • Unsafe lane changes or improper merging
  • Tailgating and aggressive driving
  • Mechanical failures or poorly maintained vehicles

When negligence leads to disaster, we make sure victims have a voice in court.

Injuries Often Caused by Highway Accidents

Because of the speeds involved, highway crashes often cause catastrophic injuries, such as:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Internal bleeding and organ damage
  • Severe burns and scarring
  • Multiple fractures and broken bones
  • Amputations and catastrophic injuries
  • Wrongful death

We fight to ensure that victims and families receive compensation that reflects the lifelong impact of these injuries.
