Do not fall for this. Experienced Arizona car accident attorneys have heard and seen all the tricks in the book and can help you discern what issues really matter when presenting your legal claim.
Speeding. Who hasn’t done it at some point in their driving history? Chances are that if you have been driving for at least one week, you have probably exceeded the speed the limit at least once, even if it was inadvertently. Arizona car accident attorneys know this. Despite the many causes of speeding – from faulty speedometers and driving while intoxicated to thrill-seeking and accidental speeding – the truth is that speeding is one of the leading causes of car accidents. The faster you drive, the higher the demand for a quick mental and physical response. Because a person’s reaction time remains constant (or, at the very least, is topped at a certain level), increasing the speed of the car is a perfect recipe for disaster. The best place to witness excessive speeding is undoubtedly the freeway or highway. Many drivers go 20-40 miles over the recommended posted speed limit. Experienced Arizona car accident attorneys are no strangers to the different types of (negligent or reckless) driving and they are familiar with the laws of the state. Contact an experienced Arizona car accident attorney to learn more about how speeding can impact your claim against the wrongdoer in a car accident.
Many drivers fail to realize, or are misinformed that, unless the road sign says otherwise, the posted speed limit is the maximum speed allowed for the road. It is not the maximum, but rather, in most instances, only the recommendation for normal traffic times. There are however a few exceptions (25 in business and residential areas, 15 mph in school zones—these are maximums by law).
Arizona has enacted various laws that tackle the issue of speeding and are incorporated in the Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS) and Arizona car accident attorneys know these laws. For example, A.R.S. §28-701 provides that a person must drive at a speed that is “reasonable and prudent” under the existing traffic conditions. Section D of this law states that, “[t]he maximum speed provided in this section is reduced to the speed that is reasonable and prudent under the conditions and with regard to the actual and potential hazards then existing ….” As you might imagine, the list of possible “conditions: can vary widely. Experienced Arizona car accident attorneys know of these laws and can help you navigate through the legal system and understand the laws, the consequences of alleged violations, and can explain to you how a person’s violation of these laws can hurt their case.
