High-Speed Collisions in Kansas
You run a higher risk of being involved in a serious car accident when a driver speeds. According to estimates from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately one-third of all traffic fatalities reported in the United States over the previous 20 years were caused by speeding drivers. Speeding lengthens the distance needed to stop entirely and raises the risk that you will lose control of your car. This combination has the potential to result in severe injuries, with thousands of people across the country dying in high-speed collisions every year. You do not want to become a victim of a careless driver. Working with an experienced attorney is always in your best interest if you want to make the strongest claim possible.
