When Speeding Drivers Cause Devastating Crashes, Choose Raipher For The Win
Speeding is one of the most common and dangerous causes of car accidents across Massachusetts and Connecticut. On highways like I-91, I-90, and I-84, or on local roads in Springfield, Hartford, and New Haven, high speeds turn everyday traffic into deadly conditions. Victims are left with severe injuries, wrecked vehicles, and months of uncertainty all because another driver refused to slow down.

Our firm has recovered more than $100 million for accident victims and their families, holding drivers and insurers fully accountable. Based in Springfield and serving clients throughout both states, we bring trial experience, precision, and persistence to every case.
We offer free consultations, and you pay no attorney’s fee unless we win. When someone’s speed changed your life in an instant, Raipher delivers the firepower to make it right.
How speeding causes serious accidents
Excessive speed increases both the likelihood and severity of a crash. The faster a vehicle moves, the less time a driver has to react and the greater the force on impact. High-speed collisions often result in devastating injuries and in many cases, death.
Common types of speeding accidents include:
- Highway Crashes: Drivers weaving or tailgating at unsafe speeds on interstates and expressways.
- Urban Collisions: Speeding through lights, failing to stop for crosswalks, or losing control downtown.
- Residential Speeding: Driving too fast in neighborhoods, near schools, or around parked cars.
- Weather-Related Crashes: Ignoring ice, snow, or rain conditions that require slower driving.
- Rear-End and Intersection Impacts: Failing to brake in time or running red lights at full speed.
At Raipher, our team investigates immediately after a car accident. We gather data from police reports, black-box downloads, and witnesses to prove exactly how speed caused your injuries and why you deserve full compensation.
Common injuries in speed-related crashes
Speed multiplies damage. Even a difference of 10 miles per hour can turn a manageable impact into a life-altering event. Victims in these crashes often face:
- Head and Brain Injuries: Concussions, brain trauma, and cognitive impairment.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage that causes paralysis or chronic pain.
- Fractures and Crush Injuries: Broken bones requiring surgery or implants.
- Internal Organ Damage: Hidden trauma that can worsen without immediate care.
Severe injuries demand more than a quick settlement. Our legal team works with medical experts to document every effect of the crash and ensure your recovery covers your health, income, and future stability.
Proving liability and securing damages
Under Massachusetts and Connecticut law, speeding is clear negligence. Drivers who exceed posted limits or drive too fast for conditions are responsible for the harm they cause. In some cases, employers or municipalities may also share liability when company policies, vehicle maintenance failures, or unsafe road designs contribute to a crash.
Speeding accident settlements can range from tens of thousands of dollars for moderate injuries to hundreds of thousands or more in cases involving catastrophic harm or wrongful death. The value of any case depends on the extent of injuries, recovery time, and how the crash affects your livelihood and future. Raipher has recovered millions for car accident victims across both states because every case is built to command full value.
Insurance companies often start with low offers. They are hoping you’ll accept less than what your case is worth. We don’t let that happen. With detailed preparation, expert testimony, and courtroom pressure, Raipher ensures insurers take your claim seriously and pay what accountability demands.
