High-Speed Crashes in New Mexico

New Mexico drivers have a reputation for acting recklessly when operating a motor vehicle, and the rate of collisions brought on by speeding, drunk driving, and driver distraction in the state is among the highest in the country. In the United States, speeding drivers cause the deaths of tens of thousands of people each year. In reality, over the past thirty years, speeding has contributed to almost one-third of all reported road fatalities nationwide. When you go over the speed limit, you run a higher risk of losing control of your car and suffering serious injuries from the force of the collision.

You can never completely control the actions of other drivers. No matter how safe you are behind the wheel, you can still be hurt due to someone else’s actions. Innocent victims often suffer life-changing injuries as a result of a collision, and the resulting damages can make life extremely difficult. You are probably not prepared to deal with the aftermath of your car accident. Expenses such as medical bills, lost income, and vehicle repair costs can add up quickly, and even the most financially stable people are unable to deal with these unexpected bills.
