Speeding-related Crashes in Kansas
When a driver speeds, you have an increased chance of getting involved in a serious auto accident. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that speeding drivers are responsible for around one-third of all traffic fatalities that have been reported in the United in the past two decades. Speeding increases the likelihood that you will lose control of your vehicle and lengthens the distance needed to stop completely. This combination can cause more serious injuries and could result in the deaths of thousands of people in this country every year. You do not want to fall prey to an irresponsible driver. If you want to make the strongest claim possible, it is always advantageous to work with an experienced attorney.
