New Mexico Speeding-Related Accidents
You put everyone on the road in danger when you drive faster than the posted limit. In the United States, speeding is still a major contributing factor to fatal car crashes. According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), New Mexico ranks ninth nationally in terms of speed-related collisions. Over one-third of road fatalities documented nationally over the past 20 years have been linked to speeding, and in New Mexico, speed is a significant factor in approximately 35 percent of recorded crashes.
Regardless of the type of car you drive or how the accident occurred, there is a good chance that you will sustain injuries. Car crashes commonly cause whiplash, severe brain damage, and broken bones. Many of these injuries can require long-term medical treatment, for which you may not be financially prepared. If you were not responsible for the accident, you should not have to pay for any resulting damages.
A major car accident can be caused by a variety of factors. Drivers can speed or change lanes erratically on the road. You have to make sure you receive medical attention after a car accident. By doing this, you can ensure that you are aware of the full scope of your injuries and safeguard yourself if you decide to file a personal injury claim in the future. Your injuries might get worse in the days that follow the collision. The insurance company could reject your claim or even argue that your injuries were unrelated to the accident because you did not seek medical attention after the collision. Your lawyer can help you during this process to make sure all necessary steps are taken to maximize your recovery.
