Speeding-Related Crashes in New Mexico

Speed can greatly impact the outcome of a car accident. Statistics show that speeding was involved in nearly 29 percent of reported traffic fatalities nationwide in 2021. That year, a total of 12,330 people lost their lives in speeding-related collisions. These accidents cost the American public more than $40.4 billion every single year, showing just how damaging a serious crash can be to our lives. Speeding is not limited to car crashes, however. Almost 31 percent of deadly motorcycle crashes, 18 percent of drive deaths, and 14 percent of light-truck fatalities are caused by speeding in some way. 

Pursuing a personal injury claim after a crash may provide you with the compensation you need and deserve. The settlement you are awarded can be used to cover your expenses such as medical bills and lost income. It is much harder than you think to have a successful claim for compensation. There are many obstacles that can come up during the process, and you need to be ready to deal with these and other concerns as they arise. Only a trained attorney will know how to get the compensation you need and deserve following a life-changing auto accident. 

There are many rules in place to keep the roads safe for everyone, but far too many people are still killed and injured in New Mexico car accidents each year. You can try to drive defensively, but you can never completely prevent a serious car accident from happening. You may be involved in a crash due to a defective component in your vehicle that causes you to lose control or even a roadway that is not properly maintained by government officials.
