Kansas Speeding-Related Accidents
There are several things that can greatly increase your risk of getting into an accident when driving. One particularly dangerous habit that is common on Kansas highways is speeding. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that between 2020 and 2021, the number of fatalities associated with speeding increased by more than 8 percent, with 12,330 people losing their lives in high-speed crashes in 2021 alone. Approximately one-third of all road fatalities in the nation are caused by speeding drivers. Drivers who violate the speed limit and cause a serious collision may be held liable for any injuries and other damages by filing a personal injury lawsuit.
