Speeding-related Accidents in New Mexico
It is well known that exceeding the speed limit significantly raises the possibility of a serious vehicle collision. Many New Mexican drivers still speed on the state’s roads and highways in spite of the well-known risks associated with doing so. The most recent crash statistics available for the state show that during a recent two-year study, 370 fatal crashes involving speeding drivers were reported in the state. High-speed collisions account for about 35 percent of all traffic fatalities in the state. When a motorist speeds, they are less able to maintain enough control over their car and avoid potential collisions. You should consult with a competent legal team to pursue a claim for compensation.
