Distracted Driving Crashes in Kansas
Distracted driving is one of the main causes of serious car crashes all over the country. There were 84 accidents in Kansas in a recent year caused by driver distraction. About 1 in 10 times when you’re driving while distracted, you take your eyes off the road, which is incredibly dangerous. Texting while driving is one of the most common examples of driver distraction, and you could easily drive across a football field at highway speeds in the time it takes to send one text message. That’s more than enough time to cause a life-changing car accident. For the best result in your case, make sure you can work with an experienced lawyer as you pursue your claim.
