Exceeding Posted Speed Limits Puts Lives in Danger
There is no doubt that speeding is a common and dangerous activity that increases the risk of an accident. In 2017, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) labeled speeding a contributing factor in more than a quarter of all fatal traffic accidents in the United States. For at least 20 years previous, speeding played a role in a third of all traffic fatalities, the NHTSA reports.
Speed can increase the likelihood of having a traffic accident and suffering serious injuries in a number of ways. This includes:
- Being more likely to lose control of the vehicle at higher speeds
- Needing longer to slow down or stop when there is a need to do so
- Increased severity of injuries due to increased force
- Reduced effectiveness of seatbelts, airbags, and other equipment
It is important to note that on the interstate or state highways are not the only place where exceeding the posted speed limit can cause an accident. In neighborhoods and residential areas, speed limits are low to protect pedestrians, cyclists, children, and other slow-moving traffic. Speeding could be a factor in an accident in a residential neighborhood as easily as it could on a main road or highway.

Modified Comparative Negligence in a Georgia Car Accident Case
Georgia practices a modified comparative negligence system in personal injury cases. This means that you can still recover compensation for your injuries if you are less than 50% responsible for your accident. However, it could cost you a percentage of your payout. If you are deemed 25% responsible for your accident and awarded $100,000 in damages, your payout may be reduced by 25% to $75,000.
Bader Scott Injury Lawyers can produce evidence in your defense if the at-fault party’s insurer claims you share responsibility for the accident.
