New Mexico Speeding-related Crashes

You never know when a careless driver will cause a life-changing crash when driving. On New Mexico roadways, speeding is especially prevalent, and going over the speed limit is a dangerous habit. Over 150 people lost their lives in speed-related collisions in New Mexico in a single year, and the data shows that some counties see more high-speed collisions than others. The largest number of fatal speeding-related crashes in the state was recorded in Bernalillo County that year, with 36 reported deaths. Driving at a high rate of speed makes it harder to control a motor vehicle, and the impact force in a high-speed collision is nearly always greater. If you or a loved one is injured in a serious crash, consult a lawyer to maximize your case.
