New Mexico High-Speed Collisions

When you go over the posted speed limit, your risk of a serious auto accident increases significantly. According to a recent study, speed played a role in nearly 37 percent of fatal car accidents in New Mexico. In fact, the state has one of the highest rates of fatal accidents involving speeding in the nation. According to the most recent crash statistics, an estimated 115 speeding-related deaths are reported for every 100 traffic fatalities in the state. 

In New Mexico, all car accident victims have a right to pursue compensation through a personal injury claim. In order for your case to be successful, you need to make sure that you are able to establish negligence. This means that the at-fault party owed you a duty and they breached that duty. That breach must be found to have resulted in your injuries. This may sound simple, but in reality, this can be extremely difficult on your own. You need to gather relevant evidence that shows the driver caused you to be hurt in a collision. Your lawyer can step in to make sure that your case is handled appropriately and that you are able to get the compensation you need and deserve after being unfairly injured by a driver.
