Wausau Speeding Accident Lawyers
Driving above the legal speed limit is a highly dangerous and generally unnecessary behavior. Despite this, it is one of the most common traffic violations. According to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, speeding is a factor in about 30% of all fatal automobile accidents. The numbers suggest that if rates of speeding were reduced, the number of major motor vehicle accidents would also decline.
Unfortunately, drivers around the US show no signs of improving in this area soon. If you or a member of your family has been the victim of a speeding driver, the law firm of Habush Habush & Rottier, S.C. can help you pursue compensation.

The Importance of Speed Limits
Speed limits are not just chosen randomly. They are based on studies concerning the fastest speeds at which drivers can still operate their cars safely. Driving over the legal limit is dangerous for several different reasons, including:
- Increased amount of time required for the vehicle to fully stop
- Reduced ability to maintain control of the car on icy or wet roads
- Inability to notice changes (cars changing lanes, pedestrians in road, etc) in time to react
- Increased impact of collision
- Potential loss of control of the vehicle, particularly on turns or uneven roads
If a speeding car strikes another vehicle or a pedestrian, the odds are high that everyone involved will suffer from serious injuries. No one should have to face permanent disability, physical pain, or the loss of a family member because another person failed to drive safely.
