How Speeding Leads to Accidents

Speeding can easily lead to accidents since it gets harder to control the vehicle at higher speeds. There are also certain behaviors associated with speeding that can make the road even more dangerous. Speeding can go hand in hand with following too closely behind other vehicles, which can result in an accident if the speeding driver is unable to react in time to the car in front of them braking. Changing lanes at high speeds can also be dangerous.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), speeding led to 9,378 deaths in 2018. Accidents caused by speeding can also lead to injuries and property damage. If you were in an accident with a speeding driver, you might be able to pursue damages and fight for the compensation you need to recover from your losses.

You Might Be Entitled to Collect Compensation After a Speeding Accident

If another driver was speeding when the accident occurred, they may be held liable for covering your damages. Damages awarded in speeding accident cases can include:

  • Medical costs: Medical bills from a speeding accident can add up quickly. You might receive compensation if you needed to pay for doctor’s appointments, prescription medications, extended hospital stays, and other medical treatments.
  • Lost wages: An injury might keep you out of work for an extended period of time. This means you might have lost income during your recovery, and you might continue to lose income until your injuries heal. You can pursue economic damages that make up for these lost wages and help you and your family avoid financial ruin.
  • Reduced earning potential: Injuries from a speeding accident can have lasting effects. If your injuries prevent you from working in the same job, as many hours, or at all, that is reduced earning potential. You may be able to get compensated for this damage.
  • A loss of enjoyment: At the same time, lingering injuries can make it impossible to take part in an activity you once loved. If your injuries prevent you from taking part in a sport or hobby you love, you may include this damage when valuing your case.
  • Pain and suffering: Any other pain and suffering may also be included in your awarded damages.

A Lawyer Can Help You Prepare for the Litigation Process

You are not required to have a lawyer when filing a personal injury case, but one can help you navigate the litigation process if you are unsure of how to do so. A Jefferson Parish speeding accident lawyer may assist you by:

Filing Your Case

Unfortunately, you do not have an unlimited time to file your case and pursue damages. The Louisiana Civil Code (CC) §3492 gives you about two years to pursue a personal injury case. That can seem like a lot of time, but it can pass by quickly as you recover from injuries, get back to work, and try to return to a sense of normalcy.

Do not worry about missing your chance to pursue a case. You can hire a lawyer who can file your case and begin seeking damages on your behalf.

Gathering Evidence

Part of your attorney’s job is to show how you were wronged in the accident. Your lawyer may gather evidence to prove that the other driver was speeding and negligent and that this behavior caused your injuries.

Evidence might include eyewitness accounts, data from police reports, photographs and videos, and accident reconstruction analysis.

Identifying Liable Parties

A lawyer might be able to identify who is liable for the accident and show why they should be held accountable. If there are multiple liable parties, your lawyer might be able to pursue compensation from each liable party involved in the case.

Determining Fair Compensation

Your lawyer may figure out what you are owed and consider all types of damages, including lost wages and medical costs. They may help you calculate your losses and suggest other awards to pursue, based on your case.

Keeping You Updated

A lawyer can have their team keep you in the loop so that you know about the progress of your case. Your attorney may talk to all involved parties, handle communications for you, and let you know about any settlement offers or big developments.

Fighting for You in Court if Needed

Your lawyer can serve as your advocate. They can fight for you every step of the way. If your case does not reach a settlement, your lawyer can represent you in court and continue your pursuit of compensation during a trial.
