Reckless Driving Wrecks in Kansas
Using a phone while driving is an awful habit in Kansas, and distracted driving is becoming a leading factor in fatal car crashes in the United States. At highway speeds, you can cover the distance of a football field in the time it takes to send one text message. In a single year, distracted driving claimed the lives of over 3,200 Americans and left nearly 400,000 with serious injuries. Distracted driving includes things like texting, conversing with a passenger, and tinkering with the GPS. A collision is much more likely to happen when you are not paying attention to the road. Recovering on your own after a major collision can be difficult, and a competent legal team can help you during this difficult time.
