Speeding

Speeding is one of the most prevalent factors contributing to traffic accidents in the United States. The economic cost to society of speeding-related crashes is estimated by the NHTSA to be $28.0 billion per year. In 1999, speeding was a contributing factor in 30 percent of all fatal crashes, and 12,628 lives were lost in speeding-related crashes. At The Law Offices of Head, Thomas, Webb, & Willis we use every means available to prove negligence on the part of a speeding driver in order to obtain the highest monetary reward for our clients. Under Georgia law, all motorists are required to drive at a speed that is reasonable or prudent O.C.G.A. § 40-6-180. Any speed in excess of the following speeds is evidence of unreasonable driving:
  • 30 mph in a business or residential district.
  • 55 mph in other locations, unless the director of highway traffic states otherwise. O.C.G.A. § 40-6-181.
