New Mexico Speeding-Related Accidents

It’s well known that exceeding the speed limit significantly raises the risk of a serious vehicle collision. Many New Mexican drivers still speed on the state’s roads and highways despite the known dangers of doing so. Statistics show that there were 370 fatal crashes involving speeding drivers reported across the state in a recent two-year study. In fact, high-speed collisions account for about 35 percent of all traffic fatalities in the state. When a motorist speeds, they are less able to maintain enough control over their car and avoid potential collisions. If you or someone close to you is seriously hurt by a reckless driver, you may be able to pursue lost compensation with the help of a trained lawyer.
