Kansas Distracted Driving Crashes
People in Kansas are more and more likely to use their phones while driving, which is a very dangerous habit. Distracted drivers are causing a growing number of crashes each year. You can go pretty far in the time it takes to send a single text on the highway, and you can easily hit someone and cause a life-changing crash. In one year, more than 3,200 Americans died and nearly 400,000 were hurt in crashes involving distracted drivers. When you drive while texting, talking on the phone, or using a GPS unit, you are not focusing on the road, greatly increasing the risk of a serious crash. After a major car accident, it might be hard to get better by yourself. It is always recommended that you work closely with a skilled legal team to get the most out of your case.
