It’s that time of year again, Summer is ending and school is back in session. For many of us this means kissing our kids goodbye and sending them off to the bus stop where they wait for their ride to school. As parents first, and attorneys second, this is an all too familiar feeling for us at Northland Injury Law in North Kansas City.
The recent NBC video highlights the rising dangers of distracted driving around school zones. There are more than 100 children killed and 25,000 injured every year in accidents occurring in school zones and there is no dispute that distracted driving contributes to these rising numbers. We urge you to watch the video link below to highlight just how serious of a problem this is becoming.
