Investigators Begin Identifying Men Suspected of Assaulting Disabled Women

San Francisco Speeding Accident Attorney

Speed-related auto accidents are a common type of collision in San Francisco and in the state of California.  In fact, California has more accidents caused by speeding than any other state in the country.  

Drivers speed for many reasons.  Some drivers purposely seek a thrill, others are constantly 10 minutes late, and many more drivers just don’t pay attention to posted signs.  Regardless, speeding is against the law and puts careful drivers, cyclists, pedestrians and motorcyclists at risk for serious injury or death in a car accident, bicycle accident, pedestrian accident or motorcycle accident.

Understanding the Increased Risks  of Speeding

Speeding, or driving faster than posted speed limits, is dangerous and considered reckless.  An auto accident can cause serious injury even at low speeds.  When speed increases, the risk of a crash, serious injury and death also increases.  Approximately 30% of all fatal crashes are speeding-related.  The risk of injury is also increased because at high speeds, the effectiveness of air bags and seatbelts is reduced.

Car accidents often have more than one cause, and speeding is commonly either a primary or secondary cause.  In any collision, speed reduces driver reaction time.  The combination of speeding and driving in dangerous weather conditions or speeding and driving under the influence of alcohol can be deadly. Speeding also increases the likelihood of a driver losing control of a vehicle on a turn, causing the vehicle to strike a divider, wall, tree, or other stationary object, or rollover.

High-Speed Accident Injuries

Speeding crashes and high-speed rollovers can cause serious injuries to drivers and passengers including head and brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, burn injuries, and various other catastrophic injuries. Unfortunately, thousands of people die in speeding accidents each year in California. If a member of your family has died in a tragic accident caused by the heedless actions of another, we may be able to assist you in bringing a wrongful death claim.
