California Speeding Accident Statistics
For every person killed in an auto accident in California, 71 people are injured. According to the California Highway Patrol, on average a traffic collision is reported every one minute and 10 seconds; In 28% of the fatal and injury collisions reported in 2008, speed was indicated as the primary collision factor. Especially when combined with distractions, like cell phones, or alcohol use, speeding, whether ignoring posted speed limits, or driving too fast for conditions, greatly reduce a driver’s reaction time and ability to prevent a collision.
Preserving Evidence and Building Your Case
Because evidence is lost and witness recollections are forgotten as time passes, it is important to contact a lawyer soon after an accident. In accidents where speed may have played a role, this is especially important. At Estey Bomberger, we can dispatch an investigator to measure skid marks and work to obtain other evidence, such as electronic control module (ECM) data, also known as the black box, to establish the role speed played in your collision. We frequently work with some of the nation’s best experts and accident reconstructionists to build a strong case and advocate maximum liability, so that we can obtain the maximum possible, full and fair compensation that our clients can recover. Our Northern California attorneys have successfully handled complex personal injury claims involving excessive speeding of commercial vehicles and company-owned cars.

How Much is Your Auto Accident Case Worth?
One of the most commonly asked questions in a personal injury consultation is “How much is my car accident case worth?” The answer depends on dozens of unique factors, such as who was responsible for your accident, the extent and severity of your injuries, your age and income, the insurance coverage of the at-fault party, and in some cases where the at-fault party does not have adequate insurance, the extent of uninsured/underinsured motorist insurance coverage you have.
