Dedicated to Achieving the Outcome You Deserve
When driving on the road, it is important for drivers to be considerate of each other and pay attention to traffic signs. Drivers that disregard this can put others at risk of losing their lives and also be the cause of expensive damages. Reckless driving has caused over 19,000 traffic deaths in 2019, and on average, 5.8 out of 100,000 people end up in fatal crashes caused by reckless driving. After getting into a reckless driving car accident, you may have endured terrible injuries, wage loss, pain and suffering, and even irreparable property damage. When you get into an accident that wasn’t your fault and suffer losses, you can receive compensation for your damages with the help of a reckless driving attorney.

When an individual operates a vehicle in complete neglect for others’ well-being and property while on the road, this is reckless driving. It is considered a crime and is punishable by jail time and costly fines. Here are some of the most common forms of reckless driving:
When two or more cars are drag racing on a public road, this can easily cause crashes between cars caught in the middle of unsuspecting pedestrians. In most states, drag racing is a misdemeanor. Because drag racing is intentional and illegal, it can also be considered grossly negligent.
Drivers that swerve in and out of lanes, often cutting off drivers in their way, are also reckless drivers. They may run into unexpected obstacles because they are flying through traffic and weaving around other drivers. A driver may open their car door, pedestrians may cross the street, or someone may simply decide to change lanes at the wrong time. Drivers that weave through traffic can easily strike someone with little warning.
Some drivers try to flee police to not get arrested or get a ticket, for example, hit and run drivers. When drivers are on the run, they completely ignore drivers around them and will even bulldoze through other cars to get away from the police. Car drivers that flee law enforcement tend to hit many cars when trying to escape arrest.
Speeding drivers may be trying to cut their commute time in half, but instead increase the risk of harming other nearby drivers. They may intentionally or accidentally fly through red lights, not yield, or crash into left-turning cars. The high force of speeding can make these crashes more deadly.
Reckless driving accidents are also punishable by law, which means that you may receive both personal injury damages and punitive damages. Unlike punitive damages, your reckless driving settlement can be compensated for out of court and isn’t paid as a punishment. Instead, your settlement is calculated based on the number of damages you experienced.
You can receive both economic and non-economic damages. The non-economic damages are based on the pain and suffering you experience. This can include emotional suffering, such as depression, anxiety, embarrassment, new phobias, and PTSD. Your car accident attorney can help you calculate your pain and suffering with the help of an insurance adjuster. They will use a multiplier based on a number from one to seven that is picked due to how severe your injuries were. This number is multiplied by the number of economic damages and then added back to the total amount to make your settlement estimate.
Economic damages differ from that of non-economic because you receive compensation based on the money you had to spend because of your wounds. Your economic damages include medical expenses that could encompass surgery, lab tests, physical therapy, imaging scans, and other treatment regimes that could continue for months into the future. All of these ongoing costs can be added to your settlement. Similar to this is lost wages, as your past, present, and future income loss can be estimated and added to the total. If your property damage was extreme, this can also be part of the settlement.
Work with excellent legal services who can help you recover from this horrific life event. We can review your case, tell you whether you are or aren’t at fault, and estimate your damages based on what you’ve gathered and other evidence. We launch an investigation to help you recover the additional proof that can strengthen your case. For a free consultation, call Henningsen Injury Attorneys P.C. today.

I am so blessed to have found Henningsen Injury Attorneys! EXCELLENT and efficient representation! They assisted me in a car accident injury claim. Before finding them I was... read more using another attorney whose office had poor customer service and lacked professionalism and integrity. Due to this unacceptable behavior, I sought out another attorney and came across Henningsen and decided to give them a ring. Not only were Mr. Henningsen’s contingency fees more affordable than the first attorney, but every single staff member was extremely professional and compassionate – this was evident from my initial phone inquiry with their office when I spoke with Carmen. She talked to me for over 30 minutes and made sure to answer all questions to my satisfaction and even answered questions I didn’t think to ask! I know they have other clients, but she never made me feel like she was “too busy” for me; I felt like a priority. She also responded super quickly to all emails. While I was hurt, they sent someone to my house to handle the paperwork for me. They explained the process and followed up with me often to see how I was feeling, providing case updates along the way. I told Carmen several times, that they really were the silver lining in a horrible experience. You can tell they care. I hope to never be in another accident, but if I am, there is no way I would even consider another attorney. I rarely write reviews, but they’re very deserving of this. I want everyone to know, you’re in great hands with Henningsen Injury Attorneys. Highly recommended!
Excellent customer service. Very responsive. Great outcome. I was in a major car accident and while it could have been worse, I was not in the situation to deal with... read more insurance, hospital calls, etc. on my own. My experience with Henningsen was very positive. Carmen (my main contact) was very responsive, broke down complicated literature for me, and always had my best interest at heart. If I had anything relating to the accident - I just forwarded it her way and I knew it was taken care of. I would recommend them again and again!

Rebecca was Amazing. Great communicator and made sure I got the biggest settlement possible. She was able to answer any questions I had and updated me with any changes in... read more my case. Best injury attorney I’ve had thus far
If I ever (god forbid) have any other personal injury or know someone who does I will refer them to this firm. I cannot thank Tammy, Carmen and Mr. Henningsen... read more enough for working tirelessly and being so patient through my case. The hospitals were not competent enough to process the claims despite hours of calls, escalations and restating the policy information, but Tammy was so patient with them and me. I always felt that I had a choice in the matter and I was always given the options on how to move forward. Carmen put my mind at ease when the accident initially happened and educated me on the initial process. Thereafter Tammy was my contact and Mr. Henningsen handled things so well that I had to go and meet Tammy in person (although I could have completed things remotely). I wanted to shake her hand and look her in the eye for helping me through this. I had just missed Mr. Henningsen, but I wanted to do the same with them. He is definitely reflected in his team and they are all wonderful!
Todd and Carmen are absolute rockstars. Not only do they genuinely care about their clients, but are a pleasure to work with. They are incredibly easy to talk to and... read more very detail oriented when it comes to their work. They kept me updated every step of the way while working my case and were very responsive when I had questions! I highly recommend Henningsen to anyone in need of legal assistance!
I am very satisfied with the assistance I received from Mr. Henningsen and his paralegal Carmen.

The cost of the care and treatment was beyond what I otherwise would have been able to afford.

My experience with the Henningsen Firm was amazing! I'd been injured in two other car accidents in my life and the paralegals who worked the cases were hard to reach... read more and not very helpful. Also, it took almost two years for my previous cases to be settled so you can imagine my surprise when LaShanda called me and told me my offer from the insurance company was in after only 5 months?! Case was settled totally a month later. I can't say enough great things about this firm. I'm so thankful!
