The majority of speeders are young males between the ages of 16 and 24. These drivers are more likely to exhibit road rage symptoms, impatience behind the wheel, and irritation at other drivers. In addition, speeders are often more likely to be thrill seekers and enjoy the feeling of going fast.
The Colorado State Patrol reported that in 2008, speeding drivers caused 5,606 accidents leading to 655 injured victims and 28 fatalities on Colorado roads. This was the number one reason for accidents in the State of Colorado, surpassing drunk driving and inattentive driving.
Due to the high speeds at which the majority of speeding accidents occur, injuries are often severe. Occupants inside of the vehicles involved can suffer from traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, fractures, soft tissue injuries, and more. These injuries often require extensive rehabilitation in order to fully recover.
Speeding is not only against the law, but it is also dangerous. If you or someone you love is injured in a Denver car crash with a speeding driver, it is important to contact an experienced Denver car crash lawyer immediately. Your car accident attorney will need to review the details of your accident closely to help establish negligence and build your case.
At Reisch Law Firm, our Denver car accident lawyers investigate each accident closely. We interview all eyewitnesses, obtain police records and medical records, photograph accident scenes, and employ accident recreation experts whenever necessary. In speeding cases, we may need to obtain recording device information in the vehicles and review the police report to prove that speeding was the cause of the catastrophic accident—and subsequently, your injuries.
