Our Salt Lake County team is dedicated to building a strong case on your behalf and helping you pursue the compensation you need to heal and rebuild, starting with a free consultation.

How Speeding Contributes to Serious Collisions Throughout Utah

Speeding increases the likelihood and severity of crashes by reducing reaction time, extending stopping distances, and amplifying the force of impact. When drivers exceed the speed limit—or drive too fast for the road or weather conditions—they drastically reduce their ability to avoid hazards or respond appropriately to changing traffic conditions.

Common scenarios where speeding causes harm include:

• Failing to stop in time for traffic or pedestrians.
• Losing control on curves or wet roads.
• Causing chain-reaction crashes on highways.
• Ignoring construction zones or reduced-speed areas.
• Driving aggressively in residential or school zones.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that speeding was a contributing factor in nearly one-third of all traffic fatalities nationwide. In Utah, speeding remains one of the top three causes of fatal crashes.

Injuries Commonly Caused by Utah Speeding Crashes

Crashes involving speeding often result in more severe injuries due to the high force involved. Victims may face long-term recovery, disability, or life-altering consequences. At Waddoups Law, we have seen firsthand the devastating outcomes of these collisions.

Injuries often include:

• Traumatic brain injuries(TBIs).
• Spinal cord injuriesand paralysis.
• Internal organ damage or internal bleeding.
• Compound fractures or crushed bones.
• Severe burns or lacerations.
• Wrongful death.

No one should suffer these kinds of losses simply because another driver chose to act recklessly. We fight to ensure our clients are not left to bear these burdens alone.

Proving Liability in a Utah Speeding Accident Claim

We work closely with investigators and experts to ensure that no detail is missed when proving how the crash occurred and who should be held accountable.
