New Mexico High-Speed Collisions

One of the most often cited factors in car accidents in New Mexico and across the country is speeding. About one-third of all traffic fatalities in America, according to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, are the result of speeding drivers. More than 9,500 people lost their lives, and hundreds suffered serious injuries in 2019 as a result of speeding. All drivers in New Mexico are safeguarded by the speed limits. You might be eligible for compensation if a speeding motorist caused your injury.

Insurance firms regularly get in touch with accident victims to request an oral or written statement. Accident victims are known to downplay or exaggerate their injuries due to adrenaline, and someone who has just experienced shock may unintentionally acknowledge fault in a recorded statement. Your life may be impacted for years to come if you sustain catastrophic injuries in a car accident. Taking advantage of the collision victim is just one of the many strategies insurers employ to cheat consumers who have solid grounds for a personal injury claim.

Those who prevail in personal injury lawsuits in New Mexico are entitled to monetary and non-monetary compensation for their injuries. Compensation for out-of-pocket expenses like missed wages, a reduction in earning potential, and medical bills are also a part of economic losses. The costs associated with the injured party’s reduced quality of life and pain and suffering are covered by non-economic damages. This might be harder to explain, but your lawyer will make sure that your claim fully reflects the scope of your damages.
