Speeding-related Crashes in New Mexico

In the United States, speeding is still a major contributing factor in many fatal vehicle accidents. According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), New Mexico ranks 10th in the nation for crashes involving speeding drivers. Over the previous 20 years, speeding has been linked to over one-third of all road deaths reported nationally. In New Mexico, speed plays a significant role in roughly 35 percent of all recorded collisions. Speeding increases a driver’s risk of losing control of their automobile, and high-speed collisions will almost always end in worse injuries. If you or someone close to you is hurt in a crash, you need to be ready to protect your legal rights by working closely with a competent legal team.
