Speeding-related Accidents in Kansas
You put yourself and everyone else on the road in danger when you drive too fast. When a driver goes over the speed limit, they also make it more likely for a major car accident to happen. Speeding makes it harder to keep your car under control. When the roads are wet, it’s even harder. Speeding motorists killed more than 12,000 people in the United States in 2021—that’s more than 33 people every day. Wet or snowy roads were involved in nearly 22 percent of deadly speeding-related crashes. It can be hard to get back on your feet on your own after a serious car accident. It’s important to be ready to fight for your compensation claim with the help of a skilled lawyer.
