Speeding-related Crashes in New Jersey

Falling Rock, NJ - Injuries in Crash at Elk River Rd & Chestnuthill DrAlmost anything can lead to serious automobile accidents, but speeding is a particularly dangerous behavior on the road. It greatly raises the risk of a serious auto accident because it reduces reaction time and increases stopping distance. Every time a driver speeds, they put others on the road at risk. Driving too fast compromises a driver’s ability to control their car, and it takes significantly longer to come to a full stop. This potentially dangerous combination leads to several traffic fatalities. Speeding accounted for roughly one-third of all road deaths reported in the United States in the past 20 years. About 25 percent of all car crashes that result in fatalities are high-speed collisions. You should be prepared to pursue a compensation claim with the support of an experienced accident lawyer.
