Is a Super Speeder Charge Considered a Criminal Offense or Just a Traffic Violation?

A Super Speeder charge can be confusing, especially for drivers who don’t fully understand what it means or how serious it can become. While the term “Super Speeder” is widely used, especially in states like Georgia, Florida has its own strict penalties for excessive speeding that function the same way—creating severe consequences for drivers who travel at dangerously high speeds. In Florida, extremely excessive speeding is treated as more than just a simple traffic violation. When a driver surpasses certain speed thresholds, they may face steep fines, points on their license, mandatory court appearances, and in some cases, charges that rise above a basic citation. But the legal consequences are only part of the story. When excessive speeding causes a car accident, the at-fault driver can face significant civil liability for the injuries they cause.

Speeding drastically increases the force of impact in a collision, reduces reaction time, and makes it harder to control a vehicle, especially on Florida’s busy roads and highways. Crashes involving high speeds frequently result in severe injuries such as fractures, traumatic brain injuries, spinal damage, internal trauma, and long-term physical limitations. Even though a Super Speeder-style offense may be categorized as a traffic violation, the injuries caused by reckless speeding often escalate the situation into a major personal injury claim. Victims injured by a speeding driver have the right to pursue compensation, and the fact that the driver was traveling at an excessively high speed strongly supports a negligence claim.

Insurance companies often attempt to minimize payouts or argue that the victim contributed to the crash, even when speeding is clearly involved. This is where Stockwell Law provides crucial support.

Stockwell Law ensures that speeding-related negligence is fully documented so the injured party receives the compensation they deserve.
