Speeding-related Accidents in Kansas
There’s an increased risk that you will be involved in a serious car accident when a driver speeds. According to estimates from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), about one-third of all road fatalities reported in the United States over the past 20 involved speeding drivers. Speeding greatly increases the distance needed to stop while also magnifying the likelihood of losing control of a car. This combination has the potential to cause thousands of fatalities annually in this country, in addition to many more catastrophic injuries. You do not want to become a victim of an irresponsible driver. Working with an experienced lawyer is always best to maximize your recovery.
