Reseda High Speed Collision Lawyers

Driving over the speed limit – or driving too fast for road conditions – is second behind distracted driving as the leading contributing factor to most car collisions.

Speed increases the force of impact. The faster you're going at the time of the crash, the greater the force of impact. This usually means more serious injuries and more fatal car wrecks. Speed also contributes to much more property damage.

When you’re behind the wheel, you're taking a leap of faith. You're trusting those you share the road with. You're trusting that they are responsible drivers and put forth enough reasonable care to avoid collisions. A driver that speeds neglects this responsibility and puts everyone at risk - especially pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists.

If you’ve been hurt in a high-speed crash in Reseda, and it can be proven the other party was speeding, you may be entitled to money.

Let the high-speed collision lawyers at M.R. Parker Law, PC fight to maximize your compensation for medical expenses, ongoing therapy and care, lost wages, pain, suffering, and emotional trauma.
