New Mexico Speeding-Related Crashes

Speeding is the primary contributor to fatal car accidents in New Mexico. Excess speeds were a factor in 26 percent of all traffic fatalities on American roads in 2019, and the 9,478 fatalities that came from these collisions—more than 25 people each day—were caused by speeding. That year, there were 8,544 fatal speeding-related crashes reported across the country. 

In some situations, settlement discussions with an insurance carrier can result in a quick resolution to your claim. If your accident prevents you from working for a few days, filing an insurance claim can be your best bet. However, insurance companies go to great lengths to prevent paying out on fair settlements. The insurer's business model is based on finding every opportunity to save money. The insurer will also contest or reduce your payout using whatever information they can, including your own statements.
