High-Speed Collisions in New Mexico

New Mexico has one of the highest rates of deadly crashes caused by speeding in the country. About 37 percent of the state’s traffic deaths each year are caused by speeding. About 115 people die in traffic accidents in the state for every 100 fatal car crashes. Each year, speeding drivers are responsible for tens of thousands of deaths across the country. In the last 20 years, more than one-third of road deaths were caused by drivers going too fast. When you drive too fast, you put yourself and everyone else on the road in danger. People driving faster than the speed limit have a harder time keeping them under control and need more space to stop, which makes it harder to avoid major road hazards. If a careless driver hurts you, you should file a personal injury claim with the help of a caring car accident lawyer.
