High-Speed Collisions in New Mexico

A reported 11,258 of the 38,824 fatal car accidents in the United States in 2020 were caused by speeding drivers. This statistic should terrify anyone who has to use the road. Going over the posted speed limit makes it harder to stop quickly, and excess speed can decrease the effectiveness of several safety features on your car. It should come as no surprise that speeding drivers are responsible for 29 percent of all fatal collisions. This amounts to about 30 fatalities taking place daily, with almost one fatality per hour due to speeding drivers. 

Victims who suffer serious injuries in a car accident may be entitled to compensation by working with a trained attorney.

Both monetary and non-monetary damages for your injuries could be awarded in your case, but only a trained lawyer can make sure you truly understand the value of your claim.
