Ontario roads have enjoyed the proud reputation of being ranked first or second in road safety continuously for more than a decade. Yet, car accidents are the main cause of fatalities, especially among the young population. Speeding is now ranked the topmost reason for accidents in this province and more than 555,000 speeding charges were filed in Ontario alone in 2014.
These figures are alarming and despite stringent fines, impounding of vehicles and suspension of driver’s licenses, speeding is a common problem especially on highways.
If you or someone dear to you has been injured in an accident involving a speeding driver, contact a Glenburnie personal injury lawyer without delay.
The injuries suffered due to someone’s careless and negligent driving can result in very serious injuries, possibly disability, disfigurement or even death. The injured are entitled to receive no-fault benefits under Ontario’s Statutory Accident Benefits Scheme (SABS) and are also entitled to file a civil suit against the negligent driver. A free consultation injury lawyer can provide a swift, genuine and comprehensive evaluation of the circumstances in your case and advise you on further steps to be taken.
Speeding
The thrill of speeding on open highways is something that many people enjoy. Modern automobile technology enables cars to be manufactured with super or turbo power and acceleration. However, as Glenburnie car accident lawyers can tell you, all car drivers have a duty of care to ensure the safety of their passengers and other road users.
Speeding results in:
- aggressive driving
- disobeying traffic-lights/signals
- weaving through traffic
- tail-gating
- abrupt/wrong lane changes
- failing to yield right of way
- road-rage
- other risky driving practices.
Top-rated accident lawyers are aware that nearly 40% of speeding drivers involved in fatal crashes are aged16-24 and are probably inexperienced. Unfortunately, many of these speeding drivers themselves are killed in the collisions they cause. Single-vehicle collisions and drunk driving are other common features.
