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.
