New York High-Speed Crashes
Unfortunately, speed plays a big part in car crashes. Speeding is a negative driving behavior that is common in New York. In 2020, motor vehicle occupants accounted for over 53.8 percent of traffic deaths in the city, and speeding accounted for nearly 29 percent of road fatalities in the Big Apple that year. Thousands of people die in the United States each year in high-speed collisions. The fact that high-speed crashes contribute to almost one-third of all traffic deaths documented in the country over the previous 20 years should come as no surprise. With the assistance of an experienced lawyer, you might be able to seek compensation if you or a loved one is unjustly injured in an auto accident.
