What Is Reckless Driving?
Reckless driving is defined as driving in a way that shows a deliberate or intentional disregard for the safety of others or their property. 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:
Drag Racing
In most states, drag racing is a misdemeanor. Because drag racing is intentional and illegal, it can also be considered grossly negligent.
Weaving In And Out Of Traffic
Drivers who swerve in and out of lanes, often cutting off drivers in their way, can easily run into unexpected obstacles. These obstacles could include an unsuspecting person opening their car door, pedestrians crossing the street, or someone simply decided to change lanes.
Fleeing Law Enforcement
When drivers are on the run, they tend to ignore others around them and will even bulldoze through other cars in order to escape.
Speeding
When speeding, drivers can easily, both intentionally or accidentally, fly through red lights, fail to yield, or crash into left-turning vehicles. Crashes that occur at high speeds are by nature more deadly.

March 27, 2022I was involved in an accident that wasn't my fault, I really didn't have a clue what to do next. The day after I was released from the hospital I... read more was very down because I was hurt, out of work and scared. My wife and I were watching TV, and good day channel 5 featured Mr. Todd Henningsen, injury attorney and he was actually giving advice for FREE....We took that as a sign, and called. From the moment I walked through his door, I was treated with kindness, respect,and EVERYTHING with my case was taken care of by Mr Henningsen and his paralegal Carmen, all I had to do was follow their instructions. I was very impressed with their service from start to end. I will recommend them to EVERYONE I know. Thanks so much, and I wish you both much success

March 29, 2023I would recommend to anyone! I’ve heard horror stories about various law firms and I was very skeptical in the beginning. However, I am so grateful for my experience with... read more the Henningsen Law Firm. This is actually a late review. My first experience with them was in 2018. Mrs. Tammy was my case manager and she is A1! She is very professional. Mrs. Tammy communicates thoroughly and timely which is really important when going through an emergency situation. Any time I had a question, Mrs. Tammy answered me with clear and direct answers! I had never been in an accident prior to my incident in 2018 and she gave me so much peace throughout my case. I am so glad I found them. During that time, I didn’t have any medical insurance, my car was a total loss, and suddenly it was a domino effect of unfortunate events for me such as losing my job, housing, etc...My attorney group still made sure I had the best medical care and transportation. I’d also like to mention that my settlement was reached pretty quickly compared to what I’ve been told is the norm; and it was more than enough for me to get my life back together, even after the medical bills, etc...I truly felt as if they fought for me! I’ve recently been in another accident. I didn’t even think twice before calling them again and I asked for Mrs. Tammy, lol. No offense to any other case managers because if you work with this firm, I’m sure you’re great. However, my grandma always told me “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”! I love Mrs. Tammy💚. I have no worries about anything. Anytime someone I know gets in an accident, I refer them to Todd Henningsen because I know they will be taken care of all the way around. He is considered a “Super Lawyer” for a reason! You would think I was on their payroll the way I talk about my experience with this firm, but it’s only because I mean it and I want to help someone else make the best decision for themselves as well! If you have any doubt, let Henningsen see you out! God bless
