Victim of a Speeding Accident? Here's What You Should Ask Your Personal Injury Lawyer

Speeding accidents are a common occurrence these days, and their consequences on the road can be serious.

Speeding is normally caused by aggressive and impatient drivers on the road. Oftentimes, they drive fast to beat the red light, speed up when running late, or abruptly change lanes to get further ahead of traffic. Not only does it endanger the life of the driver and his passengers, but it also exposes the people and vehicles within their vicinity to danger.

Questions You Should Ask Your Injury Lawyer

If you are the victim of a speeding accident, then here are some things you need to ask your attorney after the incident happens:

1. Can this be filed into a case?

Generally, speeding accidents that involve death, damages or injuries can be used as a platform to file a case against the person driving the vehicle. Oftentimes, the most common legal term you'll encounter here is Negligence Claim. Ask your lawyer to explain this thoroughly to you.

2. How much compensation will I get from this?

This is especially important if you were injured during the accident. Getting financial compensation to pay for your medical bills plus those days or months you'll spend recovering (when out of work) should be factored in by your lawyer.

3. What are my options?

Ask your lawyer what are the best options you can take here. This is the right time to be really honest and tell them of special circumstances that might affect the case. For instance, you might not have the money to pay for a lawyer, or your insurance isn't going to pay for some of your claims, or you got into a fight with the "speeding driver" a few days after the incident happened.

4. Can the case go to court?

Most car accidents are dealt with via settlements. Still, it's good to know if your lawyer is prepared to bring the case to court if no settlements have been agreed upon.

Final Word

These questions are good starting points to ask your lawyer in case you get in a speeding accident. Remember: It's always a challenge to recover after a speeding accident, but knowing that you're hiring the right person to legally defend you can make the difference between just accepting what fate has brought you--or getting the justice you truly deserve.
