New Mexico High-Speed Crashes

A high-speed crash can be caused by a number of different situations. Perhaps you are stopped at a stop sign when a moving car rear-ends you, or a reckless motorist could cut you off while driving quickly and send you rolling. In our state, speed-related incidents resulted in more than 150 fatalities in 2019, and some counties are more likely than others to experience a high-speed collision. A total of 36 of these fatalities were reportedly recorded in Bernalillo County that year. If a speeding driver is proven to be at fault for a collision, they may be held accountable for any resulting damages. 

There are many factors that can contribute to the severity of a car accident. The extent of your injuries will determine the value of a potential personal injury claim. If you are involved in an unexpected car crash, you need to be ready to protect your legal rights. That means reaching out to a qualified attorney who is able to ensure your legal rights will be secured. A lawyer can help you understand your eligibility to pursue a claim and the amount of compensation you are owed. 

There are economic and non-economic damages that may be available in your case. Economic damages have a set dollar value and can include medical bills, lost income and vehicle repair costs. However, non-economic damages are less tangible and can include things such as pain and suffering. A lawyer can help determine both types of damages that may be available in your case.
