Distracted Driving Accidents in Kansas
Distracted driving is one of the most common causes of serious auto accidents nationwide. Distracted driving was the cause of 84 recorded crashes in Kansas last year. Texting while driving is quite dangerous, and distracted driving can cause you to take your eyes off the road about 10 percent of the time. In the time it takes to send one text message, you could easily travel at highway speeds the length of a football field. This is more than enough time and distance to bring about a catastrophic accident. As you pursue your case, you should ensure that you can work with an experienced attorney to get the best result possible from your case.
