High-speed Collisions in New Mexico

There are certain driving practices that can significantly raise the chance of an automobile accident. Across the nation, crashes involving speeding drivers result in thousands of deaths each year. A total of 11,258 of the 38,824 fatal car crashes that occurred in the United States in a recent year involved high-speed impacts. Not only does speeding make it more difficult to stop your car, but it also makes any resulting injuries much more severe. It should come as no surprise that approximately 29 percent of all fatalities on American roads are caused by speeding drivers. An estimated 33 people were killed daily in high-speed crashes across the country in 2021. In the event that you or a loved one sustains catastrophic injuries in an accident, you should work with an experienced attorney to fight for your full recovery.
