Kansas Car Accidents
The road can be a dangerous place. There is always a chance that you or someone close to you will be hurt after a crash. According to preliminary figures for 2023, there were 388 fatalities in automobile crashes in Kansas, down from 410 the previous year. For the past three years, there has been a downward trend in the death toll on the state’s roads. However, a significant number of residents are still killed and hurt in car accidents every day. Many Kansas residents fail to wear seatbelts, greatly increasing the risk of a life-changing auto accident. If you are hurt due to the reckless actions of another driver, you must be ready to pursue a strong claim with the help of a qualified lawyer.
