High-Speed Crashes in New Mexico

Statistics show that speed greatly increases the risk and severity of a car accident. It is a fundamental tenet of physics that fast driving greatly reduces vehicle control while increasing stopping distance, and this means that speeding drivers are less able to respond to unanticipated dangers on the road. Over 10,000 people are killed by speeding drivers annually, accounting for more than 25 percent of traffic fatalities nationwide. 

You can never completely prevent a crash from taking place, and you need to be ready to protect your legal rights if a negligent driver injures you or a loved one. Your rehabilitation is something you should not take lightly. Your ability to recover lost compensation will have an impact on the rest of your life. With so much on the line, you need to make sure that you can collaborate with a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer who has a proven track record of helping crash victims pursue successful compensation claims.

An insurance company adjuster will contact you following the accident to get more information. They will ask questions and make it seem like they are simply trying to expedite your settlement. However, the adjuster's primary concern is what is best for the insurance company. If possible, they will try to get you to accept a subpar settlement offer. These companies have been known to reject legitimate claims on technicalities, and anything you say can be used against you. You need to have a skilled lawyer on your side to make sure to protect your legal rights.
