Speeding Accidents

Brooklyn Speeding Accident Attorney

New York lawyers recover damages for high-speed crash injuries

On highways and on city streets, speeding is a common cause of motor vehicle accidents that can result in serious injuries and even fatalities. Speeding was a factor in 28 percent of all fatal traffic accidents in 2024. If you have been injured in such an accident in New York City or a member of your family has been hurt or killed, you need a skilled and experienced attorney to obtain the compensation you deserve. The Brooklyn speeding accident attorneys at Goldberg, Sager & Associates fight vigorously for our clients in settlement negotiations and, if necessary, in court.

Why speeding causes serious accidents

Driving at high speeds can result in: 

  • Difficulty steering around curves
  • Hitting objects in the road
  • Estimating stopping distance
  • Colliding with the rear of a vehicle in front
  • Losing control on wet, slippery roads
  • Forceful impacts with other vehicles or stationary objects

Most speeding accidents are caused by people in a hurry to get to a destination, including those using car services. Our Brooklyn rideshare accident and Brooklyn taxicab accident attorneys can hold these services and their drivers liable for negligent conduct, including speeding.

Common injuries from speeding accidents

Because of the high force of impact often involved, speeding accidents they can result in serious injuries, including:

  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Damage to the spinal cord
  • Broken bones
  • Internal injuries

In the worst case scenario, an accident can be fatal. Victims who survive may have lifelong disabilities.

Determining fault in a speeding accident

The issue of fault in a speeding accident is not always clear cut. A driver is certainly negligent for going faster than the speed limit or too fast for road and weather conditions. But other drivers’ actions may contribute. Mechanical error due to poor maintenance may also be a factor in a driver losing control. We gather all types of evidence available, including testimony from accident reconstruction experts, to learn how fault for an accident might be shared.

Gathering evidence after a speeding accident

Among the types of evidence we use to prove liability in a speeding accident case are:

  • Video footage
  • Police reports
  • Speed data
  • Witness statements
  • Expert testimony

We build as strong a case as possible to establish liability for the crash.

Damages you can recover when injured by a speeding driver

You might be entitled to compensation for such resulting losses as:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Lost future earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress

We will work zealously to maximize the compensation you can receive.

Personal Injury Claim Process Timeline

Filing a personal injury lawsuit can seem overwhelming, especially when you need to focus on your recovery.

At Silver Law Accident & Injury Lawyers, we strive to make the process as smooth and straightforward for our clients as we can.

Although no two cases are alike, personal injury cases tend to include the following steps:

  • Seeking medical care. If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident, it’s crucial to seek medical attention right away. Some injuries aren’t immediately noticeable, and prompt medical records can serve as valuable proof for insurance adjusters and in court.
  • Speaking with a lawyer. While individuals may handle smaller personal injury cases on their own, other claims can benefit greatly from the expertise of a personal injury attorney. Silver Law Office offers free initial consultations for anyone unsure about pursuing a personal injury claim.
  • Investigation and review. If you hire an attorney, they will launch an investigation to gather evidence and assess your case. At Silver Law Office, we collaborate with accident reconstruction experts and healthcare professionals to present clear, compelling facts to insurers—or in court, if necessary.
  • Filing a claim. Before entering into negotiations or litigation, all relevant parties must be formally notified of your claim. For instance, if you’ve been in a car accident, you’ll need to file a personal injury claim with the other driver’s insurance provider.
  • Making a demand and negotiating. If your lawyer believes the case can be settled without filing a lawsuit, they will submit a demand to the defendant’s counsel or their insurance company. Most personal injury cases resolve at this stage, without ever proceeding to court.
  • Filing a lawsuit. Should negotiations fail to yield a fair resolution, your legal team will file a lawsuit in court. Remember, it’s vital to initiate the suit before the statute of limitations expires in your state.
  • Discovery. Discovery is the phase where both sides exchange information regarding witnesses and evidence. This process typically commences after a lawsuit is filed and can continue for up to a year.
  • Mediation and trial. After discovery concludes, there is usually an opportunity to settle. Some cases resolve at this point, while others may move to mediation, where a neutral third party helps both sides seek a mutually acceptable agreement. If mediation fails, your case will proceed to trial, where a judge or jury will determine the final outcome.
