Speeding-Related Crashes in West Virginia
There is a negative perception of reckless driving among drivers in West Virginia. Along with driving while intoxicated and distracted, speeding is one of the most dangerous driving habits in the state and a major contributing factor to serious collisions. Tens of thousands of Americans lose their lives to speeding drivers every year, and during the past 20 years, speeding has been linked to almost one-third of all reported traffic fatalities in the nation. In an accident, you face a greater chance of losing control of your vehicle and incurring severe injuries if you exceed the speed limit. After a serious crash, we should hold negligent drivers accountable. Such an outcome is usually only possible if you pursue a personal injury claim with the aid of a knowledgeable lawyer.
You are always at great risk of suffering serious injuries in the event of a car crash. The road is often an unpredictable place, and car crashes continue to be the main cause of serious injury for West Virginia residents.
