High-Speed Collisions in New Mexico

Speed can greatly impact the severity of a car accident. Each year, nearly 40 percent of traffic fatalities in New Mexico involve high-speed crashes. Tens of thousands are killed each year by speeding drivers annually in the United States, and almost one-third of traffic deaths in the past twenty years have involved speeding in some form. Drivers who fail to follow the speed limit or travel faster than allowed by roadway conditions can be potentially held responsible for any damages resulting from a serious car accident.
