Speeding-related Crashes in Kansas
When you exceed the speed limit, you become an active threat to yourself and everyone else on the road. Speeding also greatly increases the risk of a serious car accident. This negligent habit makes it harder to control a vehicle and magnifies the force of impact in the event of a crash. Speeding drivers were responsible for more than 12,000 fatalities in the United States in 2021 alone—more than 33 fatalities every day. Rainy or snowy roads account for about 22 percent of fatal speeding-related crashes. It can be difficult to recover on your own following a major collision. You have to be prepared to aggressively pursue a compensation claim with the support of a diligent legal team.
