High-Speed Crashes in New Mexico

There is a stigma associated with reckless driving among New Mexico drivers. Some of the things that are frequently mentioned as contributing factors in car accidents are speeding, driving while intoxicated, and distracted driving. Tens of thousands of Americans lose their lives to speeding drivers each year, and during the last thirty years, speeding has been linked to around one-third of all documented traffic fatalities in the nation. You run a greater risk of losing control of your vehicle and incurring serious injuries if you exceed the speed limit.

If you are driving on or near a road, you could be in an automobile accident at any time. You need to be ready to pursue a claim for damages if you or someone close to you is hurt by a reckless driver. Many people in New Mexico suffer injuries in auto accidents on a regular basis. If a catastrophic traffic accident leaves you with injuries, be ready to fight for full compensation. The at-fault driver’s insurance company will do everything in its power to either outright reject your claim or, in the very least, persuade you to accept a settlement offer that falls short of fully compensating for your damages. You should consult with a reputable lawyer who is prepared to stand up for your rights to compensation and to protect your interests.
