Speeding-Related Accidents in New Mexico

People generally know that going over the speed limit greatly raises the risk of a major car accident. Many New Mexican drivers still speed on the state’s roads and highways despite the known risks. A recent two-year study found that 370 fatal accidents involving speeding cars happened across the state. About 35 percent of all road deaths in the state are caused by accidents that happen at high speeds. When drivers are going too fast, they can’t control their cars as well and are less able to avoid hazards on the road. If a careless driver hurts you or someone you care about seriously, you might be able to get lost compensation with the help of an experienced lawyer.
