Kansas Speeding-related Crashes
When a driver speeds, the likelihood of a serious auto collision increases significantly. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states that speeding drivers have been responsible for almost one-third of all roadway fatalities documented in the United States over the past 20 years. Speeding lengthens the stopping distance and makes it more likely that you may lose control of your vehicle. Each year, hundreds of people in the nation die as a result of this combo. You do not want to foot the bill for another driver’s negligence. To be fully compensated for your injuries, you need to start submitting personal injury claims with the help of a knowledgeable injury attorney.
