New Mexico High-Speed Collisions

When you drive faster than the posted speed limit, you endanger both yourself and other people on the road. This is due to the fact that speeding effectively increases the force of a crash and also causes more severe injuries as a result. Speeding drivers cause tens of thousands of fatalities annually across the United States, and nearly one-third of all roadway fatalities reported nationwide in the past twenty years were caused by speeding drivers. Excessive speeds account for over 40 percent of fatal collisions in New Mexico, and drivers who participate in these kinds of careless behavior behind the wheel may be held accountable for any damages that come from a catastrophic auto accident.

Drivers in New Mexico are known for engaging in reckless behavior behind the wheel, and that means there is always a chance of being involved in a serious car accident. Motorists who engage in reckless actions while operating a motor vehicle should be held responsible for their actions, and that means being financially responsible for a victim’s injuries and damages.
