Stopping Distance – Speeding Accident Compensation Claims

Faster speeds in general increase the overall risk of car accidents. The higher the speed the vehicle is travelling, the more serious the injuries and damage that occur in the event of a collision. Collisions occurring at high speeds also result in a greater number of fatalities. Increased speeds require a driver to react more quickly in order to avoid a possible accident. Even a momentary lapse of attention could cause a deadly collision. The problem is that most people are not able to increase their level of focus as they increase their speed.

In many cases, the ability to avoid an accident depends on whether or not the driver can stop in time. The faster the car is travelling, the more time it needs in order to come to a complete stop. When speeding, the amount of time which you have to react is often insufficient to avoid a collision. Unfortunately, high-speed collisions are all-too common an occurrence and many solicitors are able to build an entire practice around speeding accident compensation claims.

Determining Proper Stopping Distance

The table below can help you determine the proper breaking distance for stopping at a given speed. Differences in systems of measurement are accounted for by converting miles per hour and kilometres per hour to feet per second and metres per second. Note that the estimated stopping distances listed on the table are based on well-maintained cars in good repair. These distances also assume a sober driver, and do not take into account the delay in reaction times caused by consumption of drugs or alcohol.

Also keep in mind that these calculations assume that the road surface is dry. When roads are wet, the surface becomes slippery. As such, a driver needs more breaking distance in order to come to a complete stop. Thus the stopping distance table cannot be applied to instances of wet or icy roads. If a driver does not take this factor into consideration, they may not leave themselves enough space to stop quickly. For this reason, many speeding accident compensation claims arise due to inclement weather.

The term "high speed" is relative. Whether or not a car is travelling too fast depends on several factors, including weather, the condition of the road and the applicable speed limit. Serious car accidents can occur even at lower speeds if drivers do not remain fully aware of their surroundings.

No Win No Fee Compensation Claims

If you have suffered personal injury in a vehicle collision you should consult a solicitor as soon as possible. In order to make a compensation claim the accident must have occurred within the last three years and have been caused as a result of negligence by another person. Many solicitors offer a no win no fee service which minimises the individual’s financial risk however the no win no fee scheme offered by this firm goes much further and can be summed up as 'win or lose no charge - compensation paid in full'. If you use our claims service there is no financial risk whatsoever and you are paid 100% of your compensation with no deductions.
