New Mexico High-Speed Collisions

When you become familiar with an area, you will naturally be more comfortable speeding. This reckless action, though, can make the road dangerous for everyone. Speeding drivers are less able to control their vehicles and stop to prevent a serious collision. Tens of thousands of people are killed each year in high-speed crashes in the United States, and over the past twenty years, speeding has been a factor in nearly one-third of reported traffic fatalities. In 2020, nearly 35 percent of traffic fatalities in New Mexico involved excess speeds. 

No matter what type of vehicle you drive or how your accident took place, there is a strong chance you will suffer some degree of injury. Whiplash, traumatic brain injury, and broken bones are all common as a result of vehicle collisions. Many of these injuries will require extensive and long-term medical treatment, and you may not be ready to take on these costs. If you are not at fault for the accident, you should not be held financially responsible for these types of damages. 

Reckless motorists share many common habits. They may speed or fail to pay attention to the road at all. Whatever the case, you need to make sure you seek medical treatment after a car accident. This can help to safeguard any potential personal injury claim and make sure you were not seriously injured. Even a seemingly minor injury may become more serious in the days that follow the accident. It is common for adrenaline to cloud your judgment and even make you think you are perfectly fine after being severely injured. If you fail to see a doctor after your crash, the insurer may use this as an excuse to deny your claim or even argue that your injuries were not related to the accident.
