High-Speed Collisions in Kansas
When a driver speeds, you have an increased chance of getting hurt in a serious car accident. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that speeding drivers are responsible for around one-third of all traffic fatalities in the United States. Speeding increases the likelihood that a motorist will lose control of their vehicle and lengthens the distance needed to stop completely. This combination can cause more serious injuries and could result in the deaths of thousands of people in this country. You do not want to fall prey to an irresponsible driver. If you want to make the strongest claim possible, it is always advantageous to work with an experienced attorney.
