High-Speed Collisions in Kansas
You put yourself and everyone else on the road in danger when you drive too fast, and the chance of a catastrophic car accident increases significantly when a driver exceeds the speed limit. Speeding makes it far more difficult to maintain control of a vehicle, and the likelihood of an accident is even greater on wet or slick roads. In 2021 alone, over 12,000 fatalities in the United States were caused by speeding drivers, contributing to over 33 fatalities per day. Roughly 22 percent of fatal speeding-related collisions occur on icy or rainy roadways. After a serious collision, it can be challenging to heal on your own. You must be ready to vigorously pursue a claim for compensation with the assistance of an experienced lawyer.
