Speeding-related Crashes in New Mexico

New Mexico has one of the highest percentages of fatal speeding-related crashes in the nation, with speeding contributing to approximately 37 percent of traffic fatalities. According to the most recent data, there are 115 fatalities in the state connected to speeding for every 100 fatal auto accidents in the state, and thousands of deaths across the country are linked to speeding drivers annually. Over one-third of traffic-related deaths over the previous 20 years were caused by speeding drivers. Every time you speed, you endanger not only yourself but also others on the road. When driving at a high rate of speed, it is much easier to lose control of a vehicle, and the injuries that result are also considerably worse. You should pursue a personal injury claim with the assistance of an experienced attorney if you are harmed by a negligent driver.
