High-Speed Collisions in New Mexico

When you exceed the speed limit or travel faster than permitted by roadway conditions, you are putting everyone on the road at risk. Speeding has continued to play a key role in serious car accidents across the country. Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reveal that New Mexico ranked 12th in the nation for speeding-related collisions. Over the past twenty years, speeding has been a factor in nearly one-third of reported traffic fatalities nationwide. In New Mexico, almost 35 percent of reported collisions involve speed in some way. 

There is a chance of being seriously injured in a car accident, no matter what kind of car you drive, how fast you were going, or if you were wearing a seatbelt at the time of impact. It is always recommended that you seek medical treatment right away if you are involved in a collision. This can help make sure you understand the severity of your injuries, and it can also safeguard any potential personal injury claim. It is common for crash victims to understate their injuries due to adrenaline, which can make them mistakenly think that were not seriously hurt in the crash. However, you may later learn that your injuries were worse than you thought. 

Any gap in your treatment can be potentially used against you by the insurance provider. They may use this as a reason to claim that you were not seriously hurt or that your injuries were not related to the accident. When you go to a doctor right away, you can establish a clear paper trail that connects your condition to the accident that caused your injuries.
