The speed of impact can have a significant impact on the outcome of a serious collision. Statistics show that more than 10,000 people lose their lives to speeding drivers in the United States on a yearly basis. In the last 20 years, about one-third of all road fatalities nationwide have been connected to speeding. According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), New Mexico is ranked 12th in the country for the number of crashes caused by speeding. If a driver violates the law—for example, by speeding at the scene of an accident—they could be held accountable for their losses and other damages and face legal action from a qualified attorney.
