Kansas Distracted Driving Crashes
Using your phone while driving has become a big problem on Kansas’s roads. In 2021, more than 18.1 percent of road accidents in the state were caused by drivers who were not paying attention. Every year in the United States, distracted driving kills over 3,000 people, with many more suffering serious injuries. You can’t really concentrate on the road if you text, talk to other people, or even play with the radio. Statistics show that there is a 10 percent chance that a driver who is distracted will look away from the road, which raises the risk of a big accident. After a major car accident, you want to be sure that you can work closely with a team of experienced lawyers to aggressively pursue a recovery claim.
