Distracted Driving Crashes in Kansas
Driver distraction has become a serious problem on Kansas roads. An estimated 18.1 percent of car accidents reported in Kansas in 2021 involved distracted driving. More than 3,000 people are killed annually by distracted drivers in the United States. Many more suffer life-changing injuries. Texting while driving, talking with a passenger, and messing with the radio all take your focus off the road. Statistics show that drivers who are distracted have their eyes off the road nearly 10 percent of the time, and this is incredibly dangerous. If you or someone close to you is hurt in an auto accident, you need to be prepared to pursue a claim for compensation with the help of a trained lawyer.
