High-Speed Crashes in New York
Whenever you speed, there is always a much greater chance of causing a life-changing auto accident. Speeding continues to be a serious issue in New York City. Drivers traveling at excessive speeds caused 3,940 motor vehicle accidents in the city in 2022. Even more, despite the fact that less than 10 percent of the streets in New York City have speed limits above 25 miles per hour, nearly 25 percent of all fatalities on the road occurred on these roads. Surprisingly, almost 24 percent of roadway deaths that year took place on streets with higher speed limits. Speeding makes it much harder to control a vehicle while also greatly increasing stopping distance. If you or someone close to you is hurt in a crash, you should consult a qualified lawyer to pursue a claim for compensation.
