Speeding and the severity of injuries
The speed at which a car is going at the point of collision can have a grave impact on the severity of injuries suffered by the victims of the accident. According to the Institute for Road Safety Research, higher driving speeds lead to higher collision speeds, which result in more severe injuries. Higher driving speeds also result in a greater risk of a collision taking place.
Speeding on the road is illegal and dangerous, and accidents in which speeding are a contributing factor can leave victims with severe injuries. In addition to the pain and trauma of injuries suffered, there are also the stresses of medical bills and the need to take time off from work, which can have serious financial repercussions.
At The Reinken Law Firm, we understand the challenges of coping with the aftermath of an accident caused by speeding. You can rely on us to handle your case diligently and competently. We work hard to help you recover the full and fair compensation you deserve.
Why Speeding Accidents Are So Dangerous
Higher vehicle speed directly increases crash severity. The faster a vehicle is traveling at the moment of impact:
- The greater the force of collision
- The more severe the injuries
- The higher the risk of fatal outcomes
Speeding also reduces a driver’s ability to:
- React to sudden traffic changes
- Avoid pedestrians or cyclists
- Safely navigate intersections and curves
According to transportation safety studies, higher speeds significantly increase both crash risk and injury severity.
Common Injuries in Speeding Crashes
Because of the force involved, speeding accidents often cause severe or life-altering injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
- Internal bleeding
- Neck and back injuries
- Permanent disability
Medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and lost income can quickly become overwhelming. Victims deserve full financial recovery — not quick insurance settlements that undervalue their claims.
