New Mexico Speeding-Related Crashes

Speeding is one of the most often mentioned causes of car accidents in New Mexico and around the nation. According to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, drivers who go over the speed limit are responsible for around one-third of all fatalities on American roads. In 2019, speeding resulted in more than 9,500 fatalities and hundreds of serious injuries. The speed limits in New Mexico protect all motorists. If a speeding motorist caused you to be injured, you may be entitled to compensation.

Our attorneys are able to thoroughly assess the claims of our clients by forecasting future medical bills, missed wages, and other expenses in addition to the current costs related to a car accident. The compensation should cover your injury-related pain and suffering. We will carefully evaluate the claim's value before engaging in active negotiation with the insurance provider. We will seek restitution in court if the insurance company does not offer a fair settlement for your damages.

Insurance firms frequently get in touch with accident victims and want an oral or written statement. Recent accident victims are known to exaggerate their injuries because of the effects of adrenaline, and a victim in shock may even incorrectly accept fault in a recorded statement. Serious injuries incurred in a car accident might easily impact your life for years to come. Handling the insurance provider is only one of several strategies employed by insurers to swindle people who have a strong case for a personal injury claim.
