High-Speed Collisions in New Mexico

Speeding is known to greatly impair your ability to drive safely. It is basic physics that it is much harder to control a car when exceeding the speed limit, and you will also need much more distance to come to a full stop. This means you are less equipped to react to sudden roadway hazards. More than 10,000 people are killed annually by speeding drivers, making up more than one-quarter of annual traffic fatalities nationwide. 

Filing a personal injury claim after a car crash can be extremely long and complicated. The process is confusing enough, and it is even worse if you have limited experience with the law. You will need to reach out to a local attorney who has the right track record handling personal injury cases. You will want to make sure your lawyer has a strong understanding of traffic laws in the state of New Mexico. Your lawyer needs to be able to handle negotiations and talks with the insurer to get you the fair value of your claim. If these talks are not successful, your legal representative needs to be ready to take your case to court if necessary.
