High-Speed Collisions in New Mexico

Certain behaviors behind the wheel can greatly increase the risk of a car accident. Excess speeds are commonly involved in life-changing crashes across the country. Of the 38,824 fatal auto accidents that happened in the United States in a recent year, 11,258 were caused by speeding drivers. Speeding not only makes it harder to stop quickly, but it also increases the severity of any resulting injuries. It should come as no surprise that drivers who speed are responsible for nearly 29 percent of all fatalities nationwide. This translates to nearly one fatality every hour and close to thirty deaths per day. You should partner with a skilled lawyer if you or someone close to you is seriously hurt in a collision.
