New Mexico Speeding-Related Collisions
When you exceed the posted speed limit, you endanger everyone on the road. Speeding is still a contributing factor in serious car accidents in the United States. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that New Mexico is ranked tenth in the nation for collisions caused by speeding. Speeding has been cited as a contributing factor in over one-third of road fatalities reported nationwide over the past 20 years, and speed is involved in nearly 35 percent of recorded crashes in New Mexico.
You might believe that you were not significantly hurt in an automobile accident. Nevertheless, you want to consult a physician as soon as possible. This can assist you in assessing the severity of your injuries after a serious crash. If you do not seek treatment, it can damage any future personal injury claim, and the length of time you wait to see a doctor may determine whether or not you can take a claim further. Make sure you get medical attention so you can create a record linking your injuries with the collision. Simply going to the doctor can be later used as evidence in your claim.
An official report will be made by the police if they are called to the scene of your accident. Usually, this report will place the responsibility on one of the involved drivers. Obtaining the contact details of any witnesses to the collision can help bolster your claim, and you may be able to use what they say to support your compensation claim.
