High-Speed Collisions in New Mexico

Tens of thousands of Americans lose their lives in high-speed crashes each year, and in the past two decades, speeding has been linked to about one-third of all traffic fatalities reported nationwide. A total of 12,330 people lost their lives as a result of speeding drivers in 2021 alone. That means every day, more than 33 people are killed in high-speed automobile crashes. Innocent victims should not be held responsible for the aftermath of a serious crash. 

There is only so much that can be done to prevent a life-changing auto accident. Most of the time, you will be injured by a careless driver who engages in some type of reckless behavior, whether it be speeding, distracted driving, or changing lanes unsafely. If you are not at fault for the crash, you should not be made to pay for any resulting damages, regardless of what happened. To take the necessary steps to defend yourself, you must be certain that you have a solid understanding of your legal rights.

After a collision, you should always get checked out by a doctor. You should always prioritize your health and well-being, and you need to be checked out to make sure you understand your condition. Some crash victims make the mistake of not seeing a doctor because they feel they were not seriously injured. However, this is often a mistake, and it can come back to damage your case later on if you decide to take legal action.
