Speeding is known to be a primary factor in fatal collisions. When drivers speed, they are much more likely to be involved in a crash, and the resulting injuries will be much more severe. Not only that but safety mechanisms on cars aren’t made to function properly at high speeds.

Thousands are killed by speeding drivers each year. In some cases, these crashes can result in loss of life. Surviving family members may be eligible to recover lost compensation by calling an Illinois car crash attorney.
