High-Speed Collisions in Kansas
When a driver speeds, there is always a greater chance of a major auto accident. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) believes that speeding drivers were responsible for about one-third of all road deaths reported in the United States over the past 20 years. Speeding greatly raises the chance that you might lose control of your vehicle and increases the distance required to stop, meaning that drivers are less able to avoid serious car crashes. There are thousands of fatalities each year from this lethal combo. You don’t want to foot the bill for another driver’s negligence. To get a full recovery, you have to start working on a personal injury claim with the help of a qualified attorney.
