Kansas Car Crashes
The road can be unpredictable. There are hundreds of fatal traffic accidents in Kansas each year, and there are many serious crashes around the state every day. The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) reports that 381 fatal crashes claimed the lives of 424 individuals in 2021, making it the fourth deadliest year for auto accidents in the state in nearly the past ten years. A significant proportion of these collisions involve alcohol use and passengers who are not properly restrained, which also contributes to the state’s high rate of fatal collisions. Being prepared to pursue a solid personal injury claim with the assistance of an experienced attorney is essential if you or someone you love is injured in an accident.
