High-Speed Collisions in New Mexico

The majority of roads have a set speed limit for a good reason. Unfortunately, many drivers still decide to exceed the posted speed limits. When you drive too fast on the road, you actively endanger everyone around you. New Mexico drivers have a terrible habit of speeding, and during a recent two-year study, nearly 37 percent of traffic fatalities in the state involved excessive speed. There were 370 fatal accidents involving speeding reported that year. If you or a loved one suffers unfair injuries in a crash, you have legal rights to compensation. You may be able to pursue a personal injury claim in order to be made whole again. 

The actions of another driver can quickly leave you in a difficult situation. A car accident can permanently alter your life, and it’s likely that you’ll struggle to obtain the compensation you deserve. Insurance providers are known to reach out to injured parties after a car crash in order to offer a settlement. Although it may seem like a good deal, this settlement rarely covers all of your injuries. 

The moments immediately following a car crash are some of the most important in your case. Will Ferguson & Associates will leave no stone unturned in your pursuit of a full recovery if you were hurt by a reckless driver.
