Speeding
Speeding is the most common cause of vehicular
accidents in this country and the economic cost of speeding accidents
is significant. Laws setting top speeds vary from state to state,
but each state expects drivers to travel at prudent speeds based
on the situation. Such things as road conditions, weather, and
amount of traffic are more important in determining the safest
speed as opposed to the posted speed limit. Traveling at an unsafe
speed reduces the time available for slowing or stopping and
makes it harder to control the vehicle, especially in turns and
curves. Additionally, speeding drivers are 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.
What You Need To Know:
Insurance companies' obligations are to their stockholders
and policy holders, not to the people injured by their insured's
negligence. Insurance companies' desire to maximize their own
profits provides them with every motivation to try to deny your
claim or pay you the very minimum amount that they can get away
with. The insurance companies also have enormous advantages:
they have immense wealth, armies of experienced adjusters and
lawyers and years of experience reducing and denying claims.
