Speeding-Related Accidents in New Mexico

The majority of roads have a set speed limit for a good reason. Unfortunately, many drivers still decide to exceed the posted speed limits. When you drive too fast on the road, you actively endanger everyone around you. New Mexico drivers have a bad habit of speeding, and from 2017 to 2019, nearly 37 percent of traffic fatalities in the state involved excessive speed. There were 370 fatal accidents involving speeding reported that year. 

The actions of another driver can quickly leave you in a difficult situation. The injuries you suffer in a car accident can change your life forever, and there is a strong chance that you will have a hard time recovering the compensation you are due. Insurance providers are known to reach out to injured parties after a car crash in order to offer a settlement. This settlement may sound good at first, but in most cases, it will not be enough to cover the full extent of your injuries. 

This is why you need to make sure you have a strong understanding of the real value of your case. A lawyer can help investigate your accident and help you determine how much compensation you are owed after a serious car accident. If the insurer’s settlement is not enough to cover your losses, you can have your lawyer negotiate for the full and fair compensation you are owed. If settlement talks do not go in your favor, your lawyer needs to be ready to take your case to court in order to go up against the insurance provider.
