Speeding Accidents Injury Lawyer

Maintaining a safe speed while driving is a vital component of preventing accidents. When drivers ignore speed limits or drive too fast in poor weather conditions, they put others at risk on the road. When a vehicle wreck occurs, speed can be a factor in whether a driver is at fault or negligent, making them liable for injuries caused by a preventable accident. If you were harmed in an accident where the at-fault driver was speeding, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact Ligori & Ligori Attorneys at Law to hear your case at our office in Tampa, Orlando, Ocala Lakeland or Key West, Florida.

The Role of Speeding in Fatality Accidents

The National Transportation Safety Board undertook an extensive study examining the contributing factors to fatality accidents involving passenger vehicles spanning the years 2005 to 2014. The findings from this comprehensive analysis shed light on the alarming prevalence of speed-related fatalities, underscoring a pervasive and significant safety concern on our roadways. Astonishingly, in 31% of these fatal accidents, speed emerged as the primary contributing factor, resulting in a staggering 112,580 deaths over the specified timeframe. This numerical revelation not only starkly illustrates the magnitude of the issue but also underscores the urgent need for concerted efforts to address and mitigate the adverse consequences of speeding.

What is particularly noteworthy is the striking proximity between the number of fatalities attributed to speeding and those resulting from drunk driving during the same period. The study revealed that speeding fatalities trailed only marginally behind drunk driving fatalities, with the difference amounting to fewer than 500 deaths. This juxtaposition emphasizes the gravity of the speed-related hazard, positioning it as a significant menace comparable to the well-established perils of driving under the influence.

Were You Injured in a Speeding Accident?

Speed is a pivotal variable scrutinized during the investigation of injury accidents. When assessing the contributors of a motor vehicle collision, the velocity at which a driver operates their vehicle assumes paramount importance. In instances where a driver exceeds the posted speed limit, the repercussions can be profound, potentially impeding their ability to bring the vehicle to a timely halt or exercise effective control over its trajectory. Consequently, excessive speed may emerge as a defining factor in attributing fault and liability in the aftermath of an injury accident.

For individuals who have suffered injuries or endured the tragic loss of a loved one in a serious motor vehicle collision, the determination of whether another driver was operating their vehicle at an unsafe speed holds significant legal implications. Establishing a connection between the driver’s speed and the ensuing accident can furnish compelling evidence of negligence, thereby substantiating claims for compensation and redress. By meticulously analyzing the circumstances surrounding the collision and leveraging expert testimony and forensic evidence, legal professionals endeavor to elucidate the role of speeding in precipitating the accident, thereby holding responsible parties accountable for their actions.
