Kansas Distracted Driving Accidents
While some accidents were caused by huge vehicles, animals, and drunk drivers, general inattention was blamed for the majority of Kansas collisions. Talking on the phone, texting, and fatigue are all sources of distraction, and each can take your focus off the road. Statistics show that distracted drivers have their eyes off the road nearly 10 percent of the time. The road is already a dangerous place, and it is even more of a hazard when drivers fail to pay attention to the road. If you or someone close to you is seriously hurt in a crash, you should consult a qualified lawyer to pursue a strong compensation claim.
