Back-to-School Car Accidents in Kansas City, MO
Late August transforms Kansas City’s commuter corridors overnight. School buses rejoin I-70, I-35, and US-71, rushed parents crowd neighborhood intersections near East High School on Van Brunt Boulevard and Central High School on Indiana Avenue, and stop-and-go congestion returns to bottlenecks that sat dormant all summer. Back-to-school car accidents in Kansas City spike sharply during […]

Kansas Spring Motorcycle Crashes and PIP Exemptions
Spring is a complicated season for Kansas riders. The weather warms, the roads open back up, and motorcycles come out of storage.

Whether you’re headed to a show at Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita, running routes through Garden City, or navigating […]
How Road Decay Causes Motorcycle Accidents
Every spring, Kansas riders face a hazard hiding in plain sight. Deteriorating pavement, broken shoulders, and pothole-riddled streets create conditions that can send a motorcyclist to the emergency room without warning.
