A Las Vegas Speeding-Related Accident Attorney Helps Mitigate Losses

Speeding limits are in place as precautionary measures. Failure to comply with the speeding limits set will not only result in fines; in worst case scenarios, they might end in deaths. Information from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) shows that speeding is one of the most preventable accidents. However, statistics from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) shows that speeding is the lead cause of accident-related deaths on the road.

There are two reasons why speeding is dangerous. The first reason is that a vehicle gets more challenging to control the faster it goes. A speeding car is likely to meet an accident in the face of adverse weather or a sharp turn.

The second reason is that the faster the speed, the more force is applied, so a crash becomes much more destructive. As such, there is a 100% chance of survival if a car traveling at 12.42 miles per hour hits a pedestrian. That chance of survival drops to 90% when a vehicle traveling at 25 miles per hour hits a pedestrian. But if a car speeding hits a pedestrian at 62 miles per hour, then there is only a 10% chance that the pedestrian will survive.

Driving within the mandated speed limit will help reduce the possibility of grave injuries.

Who is likely to go beyond the speed limit?

Additional information from the NHTSA shows that young males, among young drivers in general, are the most likely to speed. Other than the age risk, there’s also the factor of alcohol consumption and a .08 percent or greater blood alcohol concentration level.

Other causes of speeding are narcotics and prescription drugs that alter behavior and way of thinking.

The economic disadvantages of speeding

If you look at the societal effects of speeding, you will notice how it creates a large rift in the annual economic cost. The total economic cost of speed-related incidents is more than $40 billion per year. That’s money that could have been spent elsewhere, such as education.

What if you were a victim of a speeding driver?

A Las Vegas Speeding-Related Accident Attorney is your best bet at recovering from the losses you incurred due to the accident. In Las Vegas, speeding is both negligent and illegal especially when it directly contradicts the speed limit sign placed in conspicuous locations along the highway.

Your attorney and his team will help you recover just compensation by carefully investigating your accident. Much time will be spent gathering substantial evidence ranging from first-hand accounts to skid mark analysis, and so on.

The possibility of being unfairly compensated by the at-fault party’s insurance adjuster decreases if your lawyer is present during discussions. Your lawyer will negotiate a settlement on your behalf.

Most importantly, a competent lawyer will litigate your damages and even hire experts, medical professionals, and specialists who can evaluate your claim against the losses you incurred. These experts and professionals can also testify on your behalf.

Driving on roads would be safer if motorists follow the imposed speed limits. But when motorists don’t, and you fall victim to speeding, then know that an experienced Las Vegas Speeding-Related Accident Attorney, like Dan Lovell of Empire Law Group, can help you recover.
