Speeding and Reckless Driving Car Crash Lawyers in Boca Raton

Speeding is one of the most prevalent driving offenses. The vast majority of drivers engage in some degree of speeding, although many keep it to 10 mph or less over the posted limit. In many cases, slight speeding over the posted speed limit is not aggressively enforced by law enforcement, especially if drivers are traveling at a consistent speed with surrounding vehicles.

Florida has a number of different categories of noncriminal speeding infractions:

Speeding is typically only considered reckless driving if it’s combined with other driving behavior that qualifies as a wanton or willful disregard for other people on the road, either pedestrians, drivers or passengers in your vehicle or other cars. Reckless driving is considered a crime and can result in fines and even imprisonment.

Just because speeding traffic infractions are considered noncriminal doesn’t mean it won’t impact the outcome of a car crash injury case. When it comes to determining fault, any deviation from traffic laws, even those that are noncriminal, can be used against a driver for attributing fault.

A high-speed collision has an extremely high risk of causing severe injury or death. In 2021, 28 percent of all fatal car crashes were attributed in part to speeding, resulting in 12,330 deaths total – a quarter of which were younger than 20 years old. Those accidents also resulted in an estimated 328,946 injuries.

Victims are likely to sustain a lifelong injury or disability as the result of a speed-related accident, which can lead to long-term medical bills, chronic pain, limited mobility and a permanent reduction in quality of life. Moreover, if the injury affects the person’s ability to make a living, they may lose their job and possibly their independence as the result of someone else’s negligence.

Where Does Speeding and Reckless Driving Most Often Occur in Boca Raton?

Because of their high speed limits, highways are one of the most common sites for speeding and reckless driving accidents.

Although it may seem counterintuitive, school zones and construction zones are also hot spots due to the lower posted limit and a greater emphasis on increased caution. Those extra precautions are there for a reason, and drivers who are too impatient or inattentive to adjust their behavior are much more likely to cause serious injuries to vulnerable children or workers.

Congested areas – such as major intersections and residential areas – are another common location for these accidents due to their stop-and-start traffic patterns.

Investigation and Evidence-Gathering Techniques Our Personal Injury Lawyers Will Use to Strengthen Your Claim

If you’re able to after the accident, take photos and videos of the scene, including the vehicles involved, damage sustained, road conditions, your injuries and any other relevant details. Surveillance footage from nearby cameras, if available, can help clearly establish the events leading up to the car crash. Similarly, you should hold off on fixing your car until an insurance adjuster can see the damage in person. Physical evidence, such as damaged personal property and torn clothes, can imbue your claim with realism and urgency.

We’ll also request the official police report that was filed, which will include details about the accident, statements from both parties and the officer at the scene’s assessment of fault. When necessary, we can also track down witnesses and do our own interviews so your claim doesn’t devolve into he-said, she-said.

Medical records are an integral component of personal injury cases. Immediately after an accident, victims should seek medical assistance, even if they feel their injuries are minor. Documented proof from a doctor will be key for attributing the injuries to the crash and for establishing the necessity of medical treatments and other associated costs.

Hospital records, diagnostic test results, treatment plans and medical bills are all essential to demonstrate the extent of harm that’s directly attributable to the accident. We can also enlist medical professionals for expert testimony regarding the cause and severity of your injuries to bolster your version of events.

If distracted driving was a suspected contributing factor, we can subpoena cell phone records to determine if the other driver was using their phone at the time of the accident, as well as driving records to see if they have a history of reckless driving.

Do I Need to Report a Minor Speeding Accident to the Police in Boca Raton?

If someone was injured or there was significant damage, yes. In Boca Raton, you are required to report an accident to the police if it involves injuries, deaths or property damage exceeding $500. In a high speed accident, injuries or significant property damage are unfortunately common.

If the police didn’t come to investigate the accident at the time, you have ten days to file a written accident report. Failing to report a minor accident can result in a $30 fine, while failing to report a major accident can potentially lead to jail time and other severe penalties.
