High-Speed Collisions in New Mexico

The speed of a crash is important, and it is a basic fact that the higher the speed of an impact, the greater the force of impact. This is why nearly 40 percent of deadly collisions in New Mexico involve speeding drivers. Across the country, tens of thousands of people are killed in high-speed crashes each year. In fact, in the past twenty years, nearly one-third of deadly collisions involved speeding. Vehicle safety devices are less likely to work properly when a crash takes place at a high rate of speed, and speeding drivers can potentially be held liable for any resulting injuries and other damages in the event of a catastrophic car accident. 

If you wish to pursue a personal injury claim, there are numerous steps you must take. Car accident victims in New Mexico may be eligible to pursue a claim for compensation if the negligence of another party contributed to their injuries.
