According to the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) in its published report of Nevada Traffic Crashes 2010, Clark County led all counties in the state with 78.9 percent of total crashes. It also led all counties in the separate categories of fatal, injury, and property damage car accidents. The NDOT cited contributing factors in all types of crashes as alcohol or drug-related, falling asleep at the wheel, failing to stay in one’s proper lane, failure to yield, and driving too fast for the conditions at hand. All of these behaviors can be considered to be forms of negligence.
