Racing Accidents

Motorists each have an obligation to observe the rules of the roadway and to avoid needlessly increasing the risk of a dangerous car accident. Unfortunately, many people who get behind the wheel do not do so responsibly. It is not uncommon for some drivers to choose to engage in street racing, endangering the lives and safety of everyone around them on the road.

If you have been injured in an accident caused by a street racer’s reckless driving, you may be entitled to financial compensation for vehicle repair costs, medical expenses, and other damages. To learn more about your legal options as a victim of car racing, contact the experienced New Jersey car accident attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., today. For a free initial consultation, call 800-346-5529.

How We Can Help

When drivers race, whether on surface streets or highways, they create an unnecessarily hazardous situation. These roadways were not built for use at speeds in excess of the posted limits. Accordingly, turns and changes in elevation may not be safely navigated by racing drivers, causing them to lose control of their vehicles. Moreover, racing drivers may be unable to react quickly enough to avoid collisions with other motorists or pedestrians when they are present. The victims of street racing accidents may suffer:

  • Fractured bones
  • Scarring and lacerations
  • Property damage
  • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Paralysis

Tragically, an innocent bystander could be fatally injured by a racing driver, leaving his or her family to cope with unimaginable pain. In these cases it is particularly important to ensure that you are familiar with your legal rights and it is therefore advisable to speak with a New Jersey car accident attorney.
