High-Speed Crashes in New Mexico

According to recent studies, New Mexico has the nation’s highest rate of fatal car accidents involving speeding drivers. Using crash data spanning nine years, the study found that roughly 2,000 fatal crashes in the state during that time involved a driver exceeding the posted speed limit. The study found that speeding contributed to 37 percent of all fatal collisions in New Mexico during that timeframe. 

The risk of being involved in a car accident is too great not to have a plan in place. You need to be able to take quick action in order to protect your legal rights and make sure that you and your loved ones are protected. The rest of your life will depend on your ability to achieve compensation in a personal injury claim. Many crash victims find themselves in a difficult situation when they have to cover damages out of their own pocket. Medical bills can be expensive when you are unable to return to work due to the extent of your injuries. Our lawyers believe that accident victims should be held financially responsible for the reckless actions of other drivers.

The insurance provider will likely send a representative to contact you following the accident. The adjuster will be tasked with asking you questions to get your side of the story. While they will try to act like your friend, the truth is that they are trying to save the insurer money. You should instead have them contact your lawyer directly so that he or she can handle this process as you focus on your recovery.
