High-Speed Collisions in New Mexico

According to statistics, the primary causes of significant collisions in New Mexico are driving while intoxicated, speeding, and distracted driving. Unfortunately, a lot of people speed on the state's roadways. An estimated 30 individuals die in high-speed crashes in the United States nearly every day, and over 10,000 people are killed annually. Speeding causes a motorist to lose control of their car and makes it harder for them to avoid traffic hazards. This combination has the potential to be very risky and cause catastrophic car crashes. Following a serious auto accident, you should be prepared to collaborate closely with a knowledgeable lawyer to take the necessary actions to protect your rights.

To make the most of your case and obtain the best possible outcome, you should contact a trained Albuquerque car accident lawyer who has helped crash victims pursue successful claims in the past. This is often the only way to make sure your case is treated fairly and that you can get the full and fair compensation you are owed. Give Will Ferguson & Associates a call at (505) 243-5566.
