Distracted Driving Accidents in Kansas
Distracted driving has quickly become one of the leading causes of serious car accidents across the United States.

In a recent year, more than 3,200 people were killed by distracted drivers in the United States, with more than 700,000 people suffering serious injuries. Texting behind the wheel is one of the worst offenders, but even simply talking to a passenger or messing with the GPS can also be considered a form of distracted driving.
