What Can I Do If I Was Hurt in a Car Crash Because the Other Driver Was Speeding?

What should car crash victims do if they are injured in a wreck that happened because the other driver was speeding? Recently, a driver in Wilson, North Carolina was arrested on speeding charges after a collision involving his sports car and a minivan carrying a family from Virginia Beach. Per The Wilson Times, the accident took place on Raleigh Road Parkway. The Virginia Beach family was riding in a Dodge Caravan and the other driver was in a Dodge Challenger. After the Challenger struck the Caravan, the minivan overturned, trapping the family inside. There were three people in the Caravan, a 51-year-old driver, his wife and their son. The 51-year-old driver and his son sustained minor injuries in the wreck, while the wife suffered serious injuries. Following an investigation, the Wilson Police Department determined that the driver of the Challenger was speeding to the point that it led to the "careless and reckless" driving that caused the crash. He is facing several charges, including careless and reckless driving, speeding, and felony assault with a deadly weapon causing serious injury.
