Speeding-Related Crashes in New Mexico

There is a good reason that the majority of roadways have a set speed limit. Many drivers still choose to ignore posted speed limits no matter how dangerous it may be. When you exceed the speed limit, you become an active threat to anyone else on the road. Statistics show that New Mexico drivers have a bad habit of speeding, and nearly 37 percent of traffic fatalities in the state from 2017 to 2019 involved excessive speed. There were 370 fatal speeding-related crashes that year. Recent data show that the state has one of the highest rates of speeding-related fatalities in the United States with 115 deadly speeding-related crashes for every 100 fatal collisions on average. 

No one ever prepares to be involved in a catastrophic car accident. Unfortunately, they happen every day in New Mexico, and there is always a chance of being seriously injured while out on the state’s roadways. You need to make sure you do everything possible to strengthen your claim if you were involved in a serious collision. The reckless driver who is responsible for your injuries may be held liable for any resulting damages if it is found that acted negligently in some way. However, most crash victims do not know the technical aspects of a personal injury claim and how to go about recovering the compensation they are owed for their injuries. 

You should not be left to pursue a personal injury claim on your own after a life-changing car accident. You need to partner with a lawyer who has years of experience protecting the rights of crash victims in New Mexico. That way you can make sure that you are able to achieve a complete recovery.
