Speeding Is a Major Cause of Injury and Death in Long Beach Car Accidents

Our California personal injury attorneys have a wide range of experience in car accident cases, with a deep background in managing collisions where speed is a primary cause. For 2023, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recorded the following statistics for speeding as a factor in car accidents:

  • There were 11,775 deaths from speeding accidents across the country, accounting for 29% of all crash fatalities.
  • Over 332,500 people were injured in accidents where speed was a primary factor, making up 14% of traffic accidents.
  • Fatal crashes often included alcohol, where drivers had blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) higher than the legal limit of 0.8.
  • Over 50% of drivers involved in fatal speeding accidents were not wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash.

For Los Angeles County and Long Beach, the Transportation Injury Mapping System reported a noticeable decrease in speeding-related fatalities between 2021 and 2024, from 322 to 226. Speeding means drivers have less time to react to unexpected changes in traffic and require a greater distance to stop before hitting someone else. Their reckless actions are negligent, and you, as a victim, should demand accountability with the help of a dedicated Long Beach personal injury lawyer. 

Our Speeding Accident Attorney in Long Beach Will Hold Reckless Drivers Accountable

Our Long Beach speeding accident lawyers will listen to the details of your crash, then get to work collecting evidence to show the other driver’s negligence. We calculate the full value of your claim, including medical bills, auto repair, rehabilitation costs, and emotional effects of the accident. We negotiate aggressively with insurance companies to secure the compensation you deserve.

When the other party will not meet our demands, we prepare your case for court. Even if you were partly at fault, you still have the right to seek compensation under California’s insurance fault law, although any percentage of blame will reduce your settlement. We will give you an honest and thorough assessment of your case’s strength during your free consultation. 

Once we accept your case, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid when we obtain a settlement or jury award for you. If not, you do not owe our attorney fees. There is a short timeframe to file your personal injury lawsuit, so contact us today to claim your free consultation with an experienced Long Beach speeding accident attorney.
