Speeding-related Crashes in New Mexico

It is not uncommon to see drivers speeding on New Mexico's highways. Speeding is a risky habit, and the state has one of the highest rates of fatal speeding-related crashes in the United States. A recent nine-year research found that speeding was a contributing factor in almost 2,000 deaths in the state and that speeding drivers were involved in about 37 percent of fatal crashes. For every 100 fatal crashes in New Mexico, there were an estimated 115 deaths linked to speeding, and of the 150 people killed in the state last year as a result of speeding drivers, 36 were reported in Bernalillo County. If you or someone close to you is unfairly hurt by a reckless driver, you may be able to pursue compensation by filing a personal injury claim. 

There is no surefire technique to avoid getting into a car accident. There are many reckless drivers on New Mexico's roads and highways, and it only takes one irresponsible driver to cause a major collision.
