Intersection Accidents in Kansas
Accidents at intersections are a significant safety concern across Kansas.

Failure to yield, distracted driving, and misjudging other vehicles’ speeds are among the most common causes of these accidents. Crashes at high-speed intersections, such as those along highways like US-50, can result in severe injuries or even fatalities.
The complexity of intersection crashes often makes determining fault challenging, emphasizing the need for thorough investigations and legal expertise.
