Speeding is one of the most common factors in motor vehicle accidents. Excessive speed is a factor in approximately one-third of car accidents. During 2018, 9,378 people died in speeding accidents in the United States, and hundreds of thousands of people were injured by speeding drivers.
In New York City, there were 334 accidents involving unsafe speeds in December 2020. From January to May of 2020, speeding was a factor in 34 percent of fatal crashes in New York. During Speed Awareness Week in August, 21,428 traffic tickets were issued for speeding in New York.
Speed limits are the maximum safe driving speed for a specific area of the road. When a driver exceeds the posted speed limit, it increases the risk of a speeding accident, whether it is a collision with another car, bus, motorcycle, or a single-vehicle accident. The driver has less time to stop or react to a hazard to avoid an accident and has a higher risk of losing control of the vehicle.
Speeding is considered reckless or aggressive driving behavior. There are many reasons why a driver may choose to speed.
Common reasons why someone might exceed the speed limit or drive at excess speeds include:
Sadly, traffic tickets are not the only consequence of speeding. Speeding increases the risk of an accident and the severity of accident injuries.
Speeding accidents cause a variety of injuries. The injuries may be more severe in accidents involving excessive speeds.
Common speeding accident injuries include:
Speeding decreases the effectiveness of seat belts, airbags, and other occupant-protection features. For some accident victims, their injuries result in permanent impairments and disabilities that decrease their quality of life and result in substantial financial damages.
If a driver causes a speeding accident, the driver can be held liable for damages caused by the accident. However, you must prove that the driver was negligent and caused the collision. Establishing negligence in a speed-related case would involve:
Our New York City car accident attorney investigates the crash to determine all factors that contributed to the collision. We may interview eyewitnesses, search for a video of the crash, and employ experts to assist in the investigation.
Once we prove the speeding driver caused the auto accident, we demand compensation for your damages, including:
Our legal team does not stop searching and digging until we uncover all the evidence available to prove that the other driver caused the crash.
Exceeding a safe speed is dangerous driving behavior. It puts the driver and all others on the road at risk of an accident. At the Law Offices of Jay S. Knispel, LLC, we work to hold reckless drivers accountable for their choices.
