Speeding-Related Crashes in New Mexico

Every year, many people lose their lives while driving in New Mexico. Recent studies show that over 30 percent of road fatalities in the state are caused by speeding drivers. From 2017 to 2019, 1,060 fatal collisions were reported in New Mexico. According to statistics, 370 of these collisions involved speeding motorists. There are several reasons why speeding increases the risk of an accident. While increasing the force of contact, longer stopping distances shorten a driver's essential reaction time to avoid an accident. Drivers who speed and cause serious crashes should be held accountable, and that’s often only possible when victims pursue a strong injury claim with the help of a proven legal team.
