SPEEDING ACCIDENTS

Speed limits on our highways and roads have been enacted for good reason. People who fail to comply with these carefully calculated limits pose a danger to themselves and other drivers on the road. Sadly, speeding is a common cause of accidents in Missouri. Our highways are oftentimes congested, making them especially dangerous when a negligent driver weaves in and out of traffic.

The St. Louis car accident lawyers of the Finney Law Office understand that if you have been harmed by a negligent driver, you have likely experienced serious pain and suffering, in addition to costly medical bills. Contact us today at 314-646-0300 to learn more about your legal options for seeking justice.

The Importance of Speed Limits

Over the years, our state and local governments have put a great deal of time and money into determining the speed limits for our nation’s roads and highways. Factors that have been carefully researched and considered when setting speed limits include:

  • Number of lanes
  • Whether or not the road is divided
  • Width of shoulders
  • Surface
  • Condition
  • Number and degree of curves
  • Side roads and on-ramps
  • Weather
  • Amount of traffic
  • Number of accidents
  • Visibility

In St. Louis and the surrounding areas, we have both rural and city roads that are regulated by these factors. At the Finney Law Office, we believe that those who fail to follow the law should be punished.

When going beyond these speed limits, a driver’s ability to safely maneuver the roads is reduced. The dangers of speeding include:

  • Reduced reaction time
  • Vehicle unable to handle speed
  • Longer braking time
  • Difficulty maneuvering curves

The hazards associated with these impairments can be deadly, and drivers who break these laws may be liable for any damages they cause.
