Speeding-Related Crashes in New Mexico

Drivers who choose to speed are an active threat to everyone on the road. We all know how dangerous it can be to speed. Nearly 5 percent of car crashes in the state of New Mexico involve speeding drivers, according to the 2018 New Mexico Traffic Crash Annual Report (NMTCAR). Tens of thousands of people are killed by speeding drivers each year, and on average, these accidents account for more than 25 percent of annual traffic fatalities. 

Even though nobody ever intends to be in a car accident, they happen all the time in New Mexico. Everyone knows someone who has been involved in a car accident, so having a plan in place for when you or a loved one is hurt by a negligent driver is essential.
