High-Speed Collisions in New Mexico

Tens of thousands of people are killed every year in the United States as a result of speeding drivers. The force of a high-speed impact is known to greatly increase the severity of a car crash, and this is why many highway-related car accidents result in serious or fatal injuries. Statistics have proven that high-speed collisions are much more likely to result in fatalities or long-term disability for people involved. 

Receiving compensation for a car accident involves more than just filling out paperwork. You must also prove who was at fault for the accident and any resulting injuries or damages. The direct connection between the negligent party's actions and your injuries has to be systematically shown in order to succeed in your claim. You may be able to seek a personal injury claim for financial restitution, but only a trained lawyer can let you know if you have grounds for a case.

There are some things that you may not know about the legal system. What you do not know in a personal injury claim can come back to hurt you later. New Mexico has a system of comparative fault when it comes to negligence claims. This means that if you share liability for the accident, your final settlement will be reduced based on your degree of fault. If you are found to be 40 percent responsible for the crash, your compensation amount will be reduced by 40 percent.
