How Common Are Speeding Accidents in St. Petersburg, FL?

According to the National Safety Council, speeding was a factor in 29% of all traffic fatalities, contributing to the death of 11,258 people in 2020. Unfortunately, speeding and reckless driving increased during the pandemic, so years of decline in speed-related fatalities took a sudden turn for the worse during this phase.

Locally, speeding is a problem, too. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles reports that 137 fatalities, 194 incapacitating crashes, and 422 injury crashes in 2020 were due to drivers speeding above the posted speed limit.

Why Is Speeding So Dangerous?

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that speeding is more likely to cause injuries and deaths because:

Drivers who speed are more likely to lose control of their vehicles.
Speeding increases the distance a vehicle needs to come to a stop once the driver recognizes a hazard.
Airbags, seatbelts, and other protective equipment are not as effective at high speeds.

Drivers who choose to speed put everyone else on the road at risk, including their own passengers, other motorists, and other road users like bicyclists and pedestrians. If you were injured because of a speeding driver in St. Petersburg, Lopez Law Group Accident Injury Attorneys is here to help.

Speeding accident injuries tend to be serious and may include:

Traumatic brain injuries
Spinal cord injuries
Injuries to the chest, lungs, or respiratory system
Back or neck injuries
Fractures
Facial injuries, including scarring and permanent disfigurement
Internal organ damage or bleeding

These injuries often have a long recovery period and may cause victims to miss a significant period of lost income.

I would like to thank Lopez Law Group Car Accident Attorneys for being kind and understanding to a very nervous client. They were very reassuring and competent in all our conversations and court appearance. They were reliable to always be there for me.

Kim Curtis

My partner and I hired Sean to help us get out of our lease with an unscrupulous property owner. We were living in a rental house that was in disrepair and we were dealing nearly every day with an owner, property managers and others who made our lives super-stressful. Even when the property owner lashed out personally at Sean, he kept his cool and stuck to the facts. After weeks of back and forth, Sean recovered most of the money owed to us. It was obvious he put in many more hours than he likely initially intended and more than we actually paid for. We couldn't have been more grateful. In addition, everyone we encountered in his office was kind, respectful and unfailingly polite.

I appreciate Sean Lopez and his team. I have overwhelming anxiety and signed up to use them and then became a chronic over thinker and chose not to hire an attorney. Although he could've easily charged me for his time, he did not. I know I'm getting much less than if I had used his firm, but I just wanted this to be over. Thanks again, Lopez Law Group.
