High-Speed Crashes in New Mexico

The danger of being involved in a crash is nearly three times greater when exceeding the speed limit, according to the most recent crash statistics. In 2014, passenger automobiles accounted for nearly 77% of fatal speeding car accidents, and in 2017, 9,944 people were killed in high-speed crashes. Unfortunately, New Mexican drivers have a bad reputation for going over the posted speed limit. If you were hurt in a car accident by a speeding driver, speak with a lawyer to begin putting together a claim for compensation.

The remainder of your life will be impacted by your ability to obtain a fair settlement for your personal injury damages after a car accident. If you have never dealt with personal injury cases, it could be difficult to maximize your claim for damages, so you should make sure that everything is done to improve your rehabilitation. You will want legal assistance from the beginning of what might be a challenging and protracted legal process.

After a car accident, you should always retain legal representation because it may be challenging to pursue a claim without a reputable attorney. The insurance company can try to deny the claim or suggest that you were to blame for the accident. This is a common strategy employed by insurance companies, and it can result in a settlement offer that is insufficient to compensate you for the full extent of your losses. If you want to make sure that you get a fair settlement for your claim, our attorneys are here to help.

Speak with a car accident attorney in Albuquerque if you were hurt in a car accident. Only then can you properly start pursuing your claim for compensation. If you want to be certain that your case is successful, you will need an experienced lawyer who has dealt with injury cases in the past, and he or she can represent you in negotiations for a settlement, defend your legal rights, and gather the evidence required to support your damage claim.
