Speeding-Related Crashes in Albuquerque

Certain behaviors behind the wheel are more likely to end in catastrophic car accidents. Speeding is a factor in nearly one-quarter of fatal car crashes reported in the United States each year. There were 9,378 people killed by speeding drivers nationwide in 2018 alone, with nearly 25 people dying daily in high-speed crashes. According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, New Mexico ranks twelfth in the country for speeding-related car crashes. 

In the state of New Mexico, plaintiffs injured in a vehicle collision have a right to be fully compensated for injuries resulting from the actions of a negligent party. When calculating the extent of a victim’s damages, many different factors are taken into consideration, including the suffering endured by the victim and the extent of their financial damages resulting from a New Mexico car accident. Considering all these factors can be overwhelming for those trying their best to recover after a car accident.
