Kansas Distracted Driving Accidents
One of the riskiest things you can do when operating a vehicle is to drive while distracted. Nearly 14,000 documented fatal distracted driving crashes occurred nationwide between 2017 and 2021. A total of 3,522 persons lost their lives as a result of inattentive driving on American roads in 2021 alone. Distracted drivers lose their focus on the road approximately 10 percent of the time, which increases their risk of being involved in a potentially dangerous crash. The prevalence of distracted driving has increased in recent years, as evidenced by the fact that in Kansas in 2022, distracted drivers were involved in about 17 percent of all auto accidents. To create a strong case for compensation if you or a loved one is injured in an accident, speak with an experienced attorney.
