Street Racing: A Look at Criminal & Civil Liability

Racing is both dangerous and illegal. Due to the high speeds involved, street racing accidents can cause devastating and deadly injuries to drivers, as well as to innocent bystanders. When you are injured in a crash caused by unlawful street racing, in which you were not participating, you can use this information as evidence of the other driver’s negligence. If you were harmed as the result of a street racing accident, you can seek personal injury compensation in addition to the criminal penalties the drivers will face for their actions. In this podcast, Justin Petredis, a Board Certified Attorney in the area of Criminal Law, and Corless Barfield Trial Group's John Mulvihill discuss seeking personal injury compensation in addition to the criminal penalties drivers face for their racing actions.
