Speeding-related Crashes in New Mexico

It is well-known that speeding plays a major role in causing catastrophic auto accidents, and drivers in New Mexico frequently speed when driving. In fact, data indicates that speeding drivers are to blame for more than 37 percent of fatal collisions in the state. Over 10,000 people lose their lives in high-speed crashes every year in the United States, and over one-third of traffic deaths have been linked to speeding over the past twenty years. Speeding reduces a driver’s ability to respond to potential hazards on the road and maintain control of their automobile to prevent potentially fatal collisions. If you are hurt in a car crash, you may be able to pursue a personal injury claim to recover lost compensation with the help of a trained lawyer. 

Even if you are the safest driver on the road, there is not much that can stop a speeding motorist from hitting your car and seriously hurting you. For many people living in New Mexico, car crashes are an unfortunate reality. You should be prepared to protect your legal rights if you or a loved one is unjustly injured in a serious crash. Every year, hundreds of people in the state lose their lives in vehicle accidents, and thousands more suffer injuries. Your life may be shaped by the decisions you make in the moments following a serious accident.
