Speeding Accident Attorneys
Hit by a driver going too fast?
Speed is a factor in roughly one third of fatal U.S. crashes. Under California Vehicle Code § 22350 (the "Basic Speed Law"), every driver must drive at a speed reasonable for conditions — never faster than the posted limit, and slower when weather, traffic, or roadway conditions require it.
Gingery Hammer & Associates, LLP uses event-data-recorder ("black box") downloads and accident reconstruction to prove the other driver's speed at impact. Where the conduct was egregiously reckless, we pursue punitive damages. Every case is handled on a contingency fee — no fee unless we win.
You work directly with a trial-ready attorney — never a case manager — from your first call through resolution.

Common Speeding Scenarios
How speeding causes crashes
- Exceeding the posted speed limit
- Driving too fast for weather or road conditions
- Highway speed on surface streets
- Aggressive lane-changing and weaving
- Racing or street takeover
- Missed braking distance in a rear-end crash
- Loss of control on curves or ramps
- Rollovers from speed and evasive steering
Common Injuries
Speed multiplies crash injuries.
Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, a small increase in impact speed dramatically increases the severity of injury:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) & concussions
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and multiple fractures
- Internal organ damage
- Whiplash and soft-tissue injuries
- Ejection injuries
- Severe lacerations and permanent scarring
- Wrongful death
After a Crash
What to do after a speeding crash
- 1
Call 911 and get medical care immediately
Ask for police and paramedics. Get evaluated at Sutter Roseville, Kaiser Permanente Roseville, or the nearest ER even if you feel okay.
- 2
Tell the officer the other driver was speeding
Ask the officer to note their impression of speed and to look for skid marks and yaw marks. Get the report number.
- 3
Photograph the scene, skid marks, and vehicles
Long skid marks and severe deformation are indicators of high speed. Photograph both vehicles from every angle.
- 4
Get witness contact information
Other drivers who saw the speeder can be case-changing. Get their names and phone numbers before they leave.
- 5
Do not talk to the other driver's insurance company
Insurance adjusters minimize claims. Say nothing and refer them to your lawyer.
- 6
Preserve the vehicle and its EDR data
Do not let your vehicle be scrapped or totaled without preserving the event-data-recorder module. Your lawyer will download the crash data.

FAQ
Roseville speeding accident FAQs
How do I prove the other driver was speeding?
We download the event-data-recorder (EDR) from both vehicles, measure skid and yaw marks, review any available camera footage, and use accident reconstruction. EDR data typically records impact speed, throttle position, and braking.
How long do I have to file a speeding crash claim in California?
Generally two years from the date of the crash under California's personal-injury statute of limitations. Missed deadlines permanently bar the claim.
How much does a Roseville speeding accident lawyer cost?
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency-fee basis — no hourly fees, no retainer, no cost for our reconstruction and EDR experts. We are only paid if we recover for you.
Can I get punitive damages in a speeding crash case?
Sometimes. California allows punitive damages where the driver's conduct was malicious, oppressive, or grossly reckless — for example, extreme speeding, street racing, or speeding in a school zone.
What if I was partly at fault?
You can still recover in California under the pure comparative negligence rule. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault, but you are not barred from recovery.
What if the speeder is uninsured?
We pursue your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. Many drivers don't realize how much UM/UIM they have until we open the file.
What if a commercial driver was speeding?
If the driver was on the job or in a company vehicle, the employer is often liable — and typically carries much more insurance than an individual.
How long will my speeding crash case take?
Straightforward claims resolve in a few months. Cases involving serious injury or reconstruction disputes take longer. We keep you informed at every stage.
Do you handle speeding crash cases outside of Roseville?
Yes. In addition to Roseville and Placer County, we represent injured clients throughout Sacramento and the greater Sacramento region.
What if my loved one was killed by a speeding driver?
Surviving family members can bring a wrongful-death claim to recover funeral costs, lost financial support, and loss of companionship — and often punitive damages.
