SPEEDING ACCIDENT LAWYER
SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA

According to the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), speeding was involved in nearly one-third of fatal traffic accidents in 2008. The faster a vehicle goes, the more likely it is to have an accident and the greater the risk that a victim will suffer severe injuries. For two reasons, going above the speed limit or faster than is safe for the current road, weather, or traffic conditions puts a motorist at a higher risk of being involved in an accident. A greater speed means that the driver will have less time to react to an emergency situation or change in traffic. It also extends the distance it takes for the car to come to a stop. When you consider how fast a vehicle traveling at high speeds can hit and inflict significant force on its surroundings, speeding should be avoided.
