Injured by a Speeding Vehicle? Here’s What to Do

Speeding is a dangerous driver behavior that is all too common on Las Vegas streets and highways. Speeding can make it impossible for a driver to safely operate and control a vehicle. If you get injured in a crash caused by a speeding driver, our Las Vegas car accident lawyers are available to help you hold the driver accountable and recover financial compensation for your losses. 

How Common Are Las Vegas Speeding Accidents?

According to the Nevada Department of Public Safety, Office of Traffic Safety, almost one-third (32.1 percent) of all traffic accident deaths in Nevada from 2015 to 2019 were caused by speeding. During this time, a total of 453 fatal speeding-related crashes occurred, taking 512 lives. 

Clark County reported the highest number of fatal speeding-related accidents in the state (329). Fourteen (14) percent of deadly speeding accidents took the form of rear-end collisions, while 5 percent were head-on collisions.

Common Injuries Suffered in High-Speed Collisions

Car accidents cause injuries by imparting force to the vehicles involved. When a victim’s body is thrown forward and brought to an abrupt stop due to contact with a fixed object inside of the vehicle, such as the steering column or dashboard, this impact can cause physical injuries. 

The speed at which a vehicle crashes directly correlates with the amount of force exerted by the collision. Therefore, high-speed car accidents can cause greater damage and more severe injuries. Even with safety features such as seatbelts and airbags, speeding-related accidents can inflict serious harm.

Common injuries include bone fractures, soft-tissue damage, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, neck and back injuries, internal injuries, and organ damage. The injuries caused by a high-speed collision can affect a victim for life. Sadly, many car accidents involving speeding are fatal, taking the lives of one or more involved parties.

Your Rights After a Speeding-Related Car Accident in Las Vegas

If you get injured or a loved one dies in a speeding accident in Las Vegas, you have the right to seek financial compensation for your losses. Nevada is a fault state, which means the person at fault for causing a car accident is held responsible for paying. If you or your car accident attorney can prove that the other driver was speeding or driving too fast for the conditions, this can be used as evidence to support your claim.

Evidence of speeding, such as the severity of the crash, video footage of the accident, or eyewitness statements, can make you eligible for compensation from that driver’s car insurance provider. You may be able to recover the costs of your required medical care and property repairs, in addition to lost wages and pain and suffering.

How Ed Bernstein Injury Lawyers Can Help

A speeding car accident can result in catastrophic and life-changing injuries. Unfortunately, the car insurance company that receives your claim will not want what is best for you; it will want to protect its own profits and interests. The best way to prevent an insurance company from taking advantage of you during a car accident claim in Las Vegas is by hiring an attorney.

A personal injury lawyer will fight on your behalf to collect a fair settlement from a speeding driver’s insurance provider. If necessary, your lawyer will be able to take your case to court in pursuit of the compensation you deserve.

To discuss a speeding-related car accident case with an attorney at no cost or obligation, contact Edward Bernstein & Associates today.
