High-Speed Collisions in Kansas
A driver who speeds always faces a higher risk of a serious collision. According to findings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately one-third of all traffic fatalities documented in the United States during the last two decades were caused by high-speed crashes. Speeding makes it more likely that you will lose control of your car and lengthens the stopping distance, which makes it harder for drivers to avoid serious crashes that could cause catastrophic injuries. This deadly combination claims hundreds of lives each year. You don’t want to pay the price for the carelessness of another motorist. You need to partner with a competent legal team to pursue the strong claim possible.
