High-Speed Collisions in Kansas
There’s always a much higher chance of a major car accident happening when a driver speeds. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that over the past 20 years, almost one-third of all traffic deaths in the United States have been caused by drivers who were going too fast. When you speed, it takes longer to stop and you’re more likely to lose control of your car. This combination kills thousands of people across the country every year. You don’t want to have to pay for another driver’s carelessness, and that means pursuing a strong claim to get the compensation you are owed. You need to start filing personal injury claims with the help of an experienced lawyer to maximize your recovery.
