One of the greatest risks for sustaining a personal injury is in a car accident and one of the most common factors in traffic accidents is traveling at high speeds. If you have been injured in an accident because of a driver who was driving at an unsafe speed, an accident lawyer in Asheville can help you in your attempts to obtain whatever compensation you may be due because of the accident.

An example of why drivers should obey posted speed limits occurred recently when an accident caused personal injury to four separate victims. The incident occurred during the morning rush hour and is attributed to a driver that was in too much of a rush. According to witnesses, a 22-year-old male was driving his vehicle at an extremely high rate of speed when he crashed into another vehicle driven by a 40-year-old female. After that initial collision, the first high-speed vehicle continued to travel forward until it stopped against a home located at the intersection. Emergency responders had to extricate the injury victims from both of the vehicles where they were trapped.

The 22-year-old was taken to the hospital by ambulance ...
... with an injury that was not believed to be life-threatening. However, a passenger in his vehicle had a personal injury so serious that he was air-flighted to the hospital in serious condition. The driver of the vehicle that was hit and his six-year-old daughter also each suffered a personal injury. They were taken to the hospital, treated, and released. An investigation is pending to determine whether or not alcohol or drugs were a contributing factor, in addition to the excessive speed. Additional charges could be filed in the injury-related accident.

When drivers travel at high speeds or under the influence of drugs or alcohol, they put everyone else on the road at risk of suffering a personal injury.
