Speed is one of the most common causes of car accidents in the United States. According to the NHTSA, “For more than two decades, speeding has been involved in approximately one-third of all motor vehicle fatalities.

The vast majority of car accidents are preventable and involve some amount of driver error. It can be hard to know where to begin after any accident.
