Speeding
Speeding is the most common cause of car accidents in the United States. The economic cost of speeding accidents is quite significant. Each state sets their own speed limits, but the expectation is that drivers obey the limit and travel at prudent speeds based on the circumstances. Road conditions, weather, and the amount of traffic are often considered more important in determining the safest speed rather than the posted speed limit. If you are speeding, it reduces the amount of time available for slowing or stopping. It also makes it harder to control the vehicle, particularly around turns and curves.
Speeding drivers are also less likely to be using seatbelts, thus adding to the potential for severe injury during an accident. If you are injured by a speeding vehicle, whether as a driver, passenger or a pedestrian, you may have a right to compensation for your injuries.
