Charlotte Speeding Car Accident Lawyers
Driving above the legal speed limit is one of the most common factors in motor vehicle accidents of all kinds. It is also one of the most common legal violations. People offer a range of justifications for speeding, such as running late for appointments or “keeping up with traffic.” Studies make it clear, however, that the dangers of speeding far outweigh any benefits it could have.
If you have been injured by a driver or motorcyclist who was violating the maximum speed laws, you may have grounds for legal action in addition to your insurance claim. To learn more about your grounds for pursuing compensation, call a Charlotte speeding car crash attorney from the Law Offices of William K. Goldfarb at 866-298-0768.
Consequences of Speeding
Speed limits are not arbitrary numbers; they are based on careful research about motor vehicle safety and the impact of various collisions. Driving above the limit creates many different hazards, including:
- Reduced reaction time – The faster a vehicle is moving, the less time its driver has to notice and respond to changes in his or her environment. This increases the risk of collisions with other vehicles, objects in the road, and even pedestrians.
- Increased collision impact – Speeding vehicles will collide with cars or pedestrians with greater force than slower moving vehicles. This means that the consequences of any accident that occurs can be far more damaging.
- Loss of control – It is much easier for a speeding driver to lose control of the vehicle. If a speeding car or motorcycle encounters a slick road, pothole, sharp turn, or other hazard, the driver may be unable to prevent a major accident.
A person who endangers others by breaking the law should be held accountable for the injuries he or she causes. Our Charlotte speeding accident attorneys are committed to pursuing justice from recklessly speeding drivers who injure innocent victims.
