High-Speed Collisions in New Mexico

About 37 percent of road fatalities in New Mexico are caused by speeding, and the state has one of the highest rates of fatal speeding-related crashes nationwide. The most recent data shows that for every 100 fatal auto accidents in the state, there are 115 speeding-related fatalities. Each year, speeding drivers are responsible for tens of thousands of deaths across the country. Over one-third of traffic-related fatalities in the past two decades were caused by speeding drivers. Every time you speed, you endanger not only other drivers but also yourself. When driving quickly, you are more likely to lose control of a car, and the injuries that ensue are far more serious. You should work with an experienced attorney to pursue a personal injury claim if you are harmed by a negligent driver.

You are owed monetary compensation if you or someone close to you is hurt by another driver’s reckless actions.
