High-Speed Collisions in New Mexico

When a driver exceeds the speed limit, it nearly triples the risk of being involved in a car accident. According to the most up-to-date crash statistics, 9,944 people died in accidents caused by speeding in 2011, and 77% of fatal speeding accidents in 2014 included passenger cars. A driver who causes a collision by driving too fast may be held responsible for any resulting damages. 

Your life could change forever as a result of a car accident. If you or a loved one was injured in the accident, your capacity to function financially, mentally, and physically afterward will depend on your ability to get fair and complete recompense for your personal injury losses. If you have never dealt with personal injury claims before, it could be difficult to know what you need to do next. 

Pursuing a claim for compensation is notoriously difficult. It is possible that an insurance company will make an effort to deny the claim or claim that you are at fault for your own injuries. This is standard procedure for insurance companies, and it could result in a much smaller settlement. Your lawyer can help take over these negotiations so you can focus on your own recovery.
