High-Speed Collisions in Kansas
There’s always a far higher risk of a serious car accident when a driver exceeds the speed limit. According to estimates from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), about one-third of all road deaths reported in the United States over the past 20 years were caused by speeding drivers. Speeding extends the distance needed to stop entirely and increases the likelihood that you may lose control of your car. This mixture has the potential to be fatal, contributing to thousands of fatalities annually. You don’t want to pay the price for the carelessness of another motorist. With the assistance of an experienced attorney, you must begin working on a personal injury claim to achieve a full recovery.
