At the Law Offices of Brent C. Miller, P.A. in Central Florida, our knowledgeable speeding accident attorneys can explain all the legal options available. That way, you can make informed decisions about what to do after your accident.
How does speeding cause accidents?
Speeding is a contributing factor in many car accidents. In fact, in recent years in Florida, speeding has become one of the state's leading causes of car accidents. Speeding drivers also often engage in other reckless behavior, including running a red light.
Why is speeding so dangerous? Because drivers who go too fast don’t have time to slow down and avoid a collision. In addition, speeding vehicles hit other cars with greater force. As a result, the damages and injuries caused by speeding cars are often much more significant.
Proving that a speeding driver caused your collision might sound straightforward. But such injury claims or lawsuits often become complicated legal cases. Usually, it’s because the speeding driver denies driving too fast. That’s why you need a Florida car accident lawyer on your side.
Your attorney can find evidence proving that the other driver was speeding – whether it’s traffic camera footage, testimony from an accident reconstruction expert, or statements from witnesses who saw your crash. We promise we will work hard to build a solid legal case.
Understanding your rights
Driver error accidents caused by speeding drivers can be very complicated. But the important thing to remember is you didn’t do anything wrong. That’s why taking legal action as soon as possible after your accident is crucial. As an accident victim, you may be eligible for financial compensation for the following:
- Medical expenses
- Follow-up doctor's appointments
- Vehicle repair or replacement costs
- Lost income during recovery
- Lost future income if you cannot return to work
Another important issue to remember - you only have a limited amount of time to take legal action in Florida to obtain financial compensation for your crash. Once this deadline (known as the "statute of limitations") expires, you will likely not be able to recover damages (financial compensation) for your crash. That's why it's important to talk to us as soon as possible.
How we can help you
You might think you don't need a lawyer if a speeding driver caused your crash. The other driver broke the law. The police are investigating your crash. Insurance companies will take care of everything. You will be fairly compensated.
Don't be so sure. The driver who caused your crash might deny speeding. Most insurance companies go to great lengths to pay accident victims as little as possible. And even though the police are investigating your crash, they only care about determining the cause of your crash, not how much money you receive for your accident claim.
We take a different approach. We're solely focused on your needs. That includes making sure you receive the maximum compensation for your crash. But more than that, we serve as your advocate in Florida's legal system, your voice for justice. Find out how we can help you after your speeding accident.
