High-speed Crashes in Kansas
Certain behaviors behind the wheel are much more likely to increase the risk of a crash. One particularly dangerous habit that is common on Kansas roads is speeding. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that between 2020 and 2021, the number of fatalities attributable to speeding increased by more than 8 percent, with 12,330 persons losing their lives as a result of high-speed crashes in 2021 alone. Nationwide, more than one-third of roadway fatalities are caused by speeding drivers. Drivers who exceed the speed limit and cause a life-changing crash should be held responsible for their actions by filing a personal injury claim.
