High-Speed Collisions in New Mexico

Speeding is the primary factor in the majority of traffic fatalities that are reported in New Mexico. In 2019, speeding accounted for 26 percent of all traffic-related fatalities in the United States, resulting in 9,478 fatalities—more than 25 people dying every day. That year, there were 8,544 fatal speeding-related crashes across the country. The speeding driver who caused the crash can potentially be held liable for your damages if you choose to pursue a personal injury claim with the help of a skilled attorney. 

When you drive, you are always at risk of being involved in an unexpected car accident. You need to be ready to protect yourself and your legal rights if you or someone close to you is unfairly hurt by a reckless motorist. Your future is on the line, and you should never leave your recovery to chance. That is why you need to make sure that you are able to partner with a trained personal injury lawyer who has a proven track record of helping injured parties pursue successful claims for compensation. 

The insurance provider will send an adjuster to make contact with you following the accident. They will ask you questions and make it seem like they are just trying to get you your compensation faster. However, in reality, the adjuster is just looking out for the best interests of the insurance company. This means that they want to accept the lowest settlement possible. If you say anything that can be used against you, they may even try to deny your claim entirely. You should instead have the adjuster reach out to your lawyer so you can rest assured your case is secure. 

At Will Ferguson & Associates, we believe that crash victims should not held financially liable for crash damages caused by another driver’s reckless actions. You need to take all necessary to protect your financial stability, and that means hiring an Albuquerque car crash lawyer who can give you the necessary guidance for a successful outcome to your claim.
