High-Speed Collisions in West Virginia
Speeding makes it harder to maintain control of your vehicle and to stop in time to avoid unexpected car accidents. This combination significantly raises the possibility of a catastrophic auto collision that ends in fatal injuries. An estimated 10,000 individuals are killed in high-speed crashes annually, and statistics reveal that speeding drivers were responsible for more than one-third of all traffic fatalities documented in the United States over the preceding 20 years. In West Virginia, speeding is a common factor in deadly car crashes. It is quite unsafe to drive at fast speeds, and anyone who does so should be held accountable for any resulting injuries and damages in the event of a crash. You may be able to pursue a claim for compensation if you or a loved one is unfairly hurt in a car accident.
