Distracted Driving Collisions in Kansas
Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of catastrophic auto accidents nationwide. There were 84 recorded collisions in Kansas last year that were linked to distracted driving. Statistics show that drivers who are distracted will have their eyes off the road nearly 10 percent of the time, and texting behind the wheel does not help at all. In the time it takes to send one text message, you could easily travel at highway speeds the length of a football field. This is more than enough time and distance to result in a catastrophic auto collision. If a reckless driver causes you harm and you wish to seek compensation, be sure you can work with an experienced attorney to file a personal injury claim. You should work closely with a competent lawyer to pursue a strong personal injury claim after a car accident.
