In the immediate aftermath of a car accident, it can be hard to keep track of everything that’s happening around you. The shock of the moment can make it difficult to remember the details of what transpired. Moreover, the adrenaline rush that follows an accident and injury can make you see things differently than they really are.

It’s easy in this situation to wrongly admit fault and take responsibility for what happened out of a desire to move past the incident as quickly as possible. With that said, this can lead to profound legal implications if you later attempt to pursue financial compensation from the negligent parties for injuries and losses.

Speeding reduces a driver's reaction time, increasing the likelihood of a collision. It also shortens the stopping distance and can dangerously change the angle at which a driver is able to brake. When you're in a hurry, it's tempting to disregard the speed limit and not worry about other vehicles or pedestrians on the road. But driving faster than what is safe for the road conditions can put you in danger of getting into an accident, receiving a traffic citation, or injuring or even killing other road users.

Sometimes, a few extra miles per hour could mean the difference between life and death. Speeding drivers may be less likely to see pedestrians and bicyclists on sidewalks or crosswalks. They're also less likely to see other vehicles at intersections and oncoming vehicles when turning left or right onto streets with multiple lanes.

If you've been injured in an accident with a negligent, speeding driver, contact an attorney at Rosenberg, Minc, Falkoff & Wolff, LLP immediately to discuss your legal options for pursuing compensation against the at-fault driver.
