Speeding is a huge problem on LA roads resulting in hundreds of car accidents every year. When drivers speed, they have less time to react to road hazards and require a longer distance to come to a complete stop. This not only increases the likelihood of an accident but often means that when accidents do occur, the high speeds make the injuries far worse than those in slower-speed crashes. Drivers who speed are likely at fault in a crash. However, even as a victim, you might find yourself unjustly blamed for contributing to the accident.
For victims of speed-related crashes, the stakes couldn’t be higher. You’re faced with the daunting task of proving the accident was the other driver’s fault and accurately demonstrating the extent of your injuries. This is crucial for securing the compensation you rightly deserve from the insurance company. But here’s the catch – insurance companies are often reluctant to part with the true value of your claim. Their goal? To settle for as little as possible.
That’s not fair, and it’s not right. And you don’t have to put up with it. For over 20 years, Oaks Law Firm has been fighting for crash victims in the San Fernando Valley and throughout LA County. If you were injured in a speed-related crash, we are ready to aggressively advocate for the maximum compensation you deserve.
Negligent drivers will speed in all types of spaces and places where it’s inappropriate – quiet neighborhoods, parking lots, pothole-filled roads, boulevards, and highways, for example. However, some roadways and areas see more speeding drivers wiped out than others. In Los Angeles, common sites of speeding accidents include:
Note that specific accident-prone spots can change over time due to changes in traffic patterns, road construction, and the implementation of new traffic law enforcement tactics.
