Speeding & Car Accidents Statistics
According to traffic accident statistics from 2008, compiled by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), speeding was considered a contributing factor in approximately 30% of all fatal collisions. Speeding may be considered a form of driver
negligence, as it shows a driver's failure to act with proper caution or care while on the road. A driver may be traveling above the speed limit or may be driving too fast for current road, weather or traffic conditions. Either of these forms of speeding may prove disastrous to any other drivers or passengers in the vicinity of the driver who is speeding.
The most important step you can take if you or someone you love was seriously injured in a speeding accident is to consult with an attorney. You will need to deal with an insurance claim and having a legal professional by your side may make all the difference in your ability to secure a fair settlement for economic and non-economic damages: medical bills, lost earnings, emotional trauma, and more.
