Speeding-related Crashes in New Mexico

New Mexico drivers have an issue with reckless driving. Along with driving while intoxicated and distracted, speeding is one of the most prevalent dangerous driving habits in the state and a major contributing factor to serious collisions. Tens of thousands of Americans lose their lives to speeding drivers every year, and in the past 20 years, speeding has been linked to almost one-third of all reported traffic fatalities nationwide. You face a greater chance of losing control of your vehicle and suffering severe injuries when you exceed the speed limit. Negligent drivers should be held responsible after a serious crash. This is frequently only possible if you pursue a personal injury claim with the aid of a knowledgeable lawyer.
