Why are accidents caused by speeding often so serious?

Speed limits exist for a reason. When people drive too fast, they often don’t have enough time to slow down and avoid crashing into another vehicle. In addition, speeding drivers often cause more severe accidents since the force of their vehicle is greater when they crash into another car. That might explain why speeding remains one of the leading causes of fatal accidents in Oklahoma.

These accidents are especially common on Oklahoma’s highways. The maximum speed limit on certain highways in Oklahoma is 80 miles per hour. When drivers exceed speed limits, such high speed accidents often result in severe injuries or fatalities.

However, you don’t have to be a highway to be involved in a high-speed crash. Rural roads experience many speeding accidents. In addition, these accidents often occur at intersections in busy cities like Tulsa or Oklahoma City, particularly in head-on collisions. Wherever your accident took place, make sure you get the medical care and legal advice you need right away. Go straight to your doctor or the nearest hospital. Then make an appointment with our law firm.

What makes high speed crashes so complicated?

Speeding accidents might seem straightforward. Another driver clearly caused your collision. What makes such cases so complicated? Unfortunately, many different things in many different cases.

Depending on the circumstances of your crash, you may be faced with a wide range of complex legal issues. Insurance companies might fight you tooth and nail to protect their bottom line, putting their best lawyers and adjusters on the case. That’s because many speeding accidents result in significant injury claims which can quickly add up to tens of thousands of dollars or even much more.

Gathering evidence in these cases can also often be very challenging. In highway accidents in particular, evidence can disappear quickly. Eyewitnesses can be difficult to locate or have trouble remembering what they saw. Many high-speed crashes in Oklahoma involve out-of-state drivers or multiple vehicles, including commercial truck drivers. That’s why you need an attorney with experience who can investigate your crash and find the facts that matter.
