High-Speed Collisions in New Mexico
A high-speed crash can happen at any time. Maybe a reckless driver cuts you off while driving fast and sends you sliding, or you are stopped at a stop sign and another driver rear-ends you because they are going too fast to stop on time. Over 150 people lost their lives in New Mexico in 2019 as a result of speed-related incidents, and certain counties are more prone than others to have a high-speed collision. Bernalillo County was the site of 36 of these deaths. A driver who is found to be speeding and responsible for an accident may be found liable for any resulting damages.
Driving is one of the most dangerous things we do almost every single day. No one ever plans to be involved in a life-changing car accident, but unfortunately, the statistics show that people are injured every day in car crashes in New Mexico. It is important that you have a plan in place in the event you or someone close to you is hurt by the actions of a reckless driver.
