High-Speed Collisions in New York
There are several things that can dramatically increase the likelihood of a car accident. Speeding significantly raises the risk of a crash, and these types of crashes often involve much more severe injuries. Speeding greatly increases stopping distance and makes it harder to control a motor vehicle. This can result in a slower reaction time. Speeding is responsible for about one-fourth of all traffic fatalities on American roads annually and continues to be a significant contributing element to the general safety of New York’s roadways. You should always seek the counsel of a qualified attorney if you are hurt by a negligent driver so that you may make a compelling case for your full compensation.
