SPEED-RELATED ACCIDENTS

In the U.S., excessive speed is a contributing factor in about one of every three motor vehicle accidents that causes a death. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that more than 10,500 lives are lost yearly because of speeding. The fact is, speeding is second only to alcohol when it comes to factors that contribute to fatal accidents. If you or someone you know has been hurt because a careless driver ignored the dangers of speeding, you may be entitled to seek compensation for the harm that driver caused you.

Attorney Goolsby knows that research by the NHTSA reveals that the largest proportion of drivers who speed – 39% – are young males in the 15-to-20 age group. He also knows that the NHTSA has found that every increase of 10 miles per hour in speed doubles the forces vehicle occupants must endure when a crash occurs. When the force of a crash increases, so does the likelihood that people involved in that collision will be seriously hurt or lose their lives.

In Texas, speeding contributes to more than 24,000 crashes per year, based on figures from the Texas Department of Transportation.
