West Virginia High-Speed Collisions
It is well known that speeding greatly raises the risk of a major accident. Careless drivers who speed are often to blame for accidents that change people’s lives. In 2021, speeding-related accidents claimed the lives of 12,330 people in the United States. Almost 24 percent of drivers aged 18 to 44 involved in fatal accidents were speeding at the time of the impact. In the past 20 years, nearly one-third of all traffic deaths in the United States involved drivers who were going too fast. This careless behavior is a major factor in deadly accidents on dry, wet, snowy, and icy roads. In 2022, speeding was the main cause of 27.8 percent of fatal accidents, more than any other activity. If a careless driver hurts you or someone close to you, you should be ready to file a claim for compensation by working with a skilled group of lawyers who have a history of winning injury claims.
