Speeding accidents

Speeding accidents in Texas can be devastating

As any Texan knows, speeding is nothing unusual on major highways. Drivers commuting through cities such as San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Laredo or Odessa often exceed the speed limits. About one in six drivers receives a ticket for speeding each year, according to studies.

Speeding can be a negligent factor in car accidents. When combined with risky behaviors, such as drunk driving (DWI) or texting, the risk of an accident is extremely high. A high-speed accident can cause severe injuries or even loss of life, which may be grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit.

Not only does speeding contribute to accident frequency, it increases the severity of any auto accident injury that occurs, which may include catastrophic injury such as:

• Spinal cord injury
• Amputation or loss of limb
• Traumatic brain injury
