High-Speed Collisions in Kansas
You put yourself, other drivers, and everyone else on the road in danger when you drive too fast. The chance of a disastrous collision increases when speeding for several reasons. This careless behavior makes driving more difficult, especially on wet roads, and increases the chance of an accident. In 2021 alone, speeding drivers claimed the lives of about 12,000 people in the United States—more than 33 people every day. Roughly 22 percent of all speed-related fatalities occur on rain- or snow-covered roadways. After a significant crash, it could be challenging to pursue a full recovery on your own.
