New Mexico Pedestrian Accidents

New Mexico drivers have a reputation for driving recklessly, and pedestrians are always at risk when using the state's roadways. The state has been consistently ranked among the deadliest for pedestrians for a number of years. Per the findings of the Governor's Highway Safety Association (GHSA), in the year 2021, the state had the highest rate of pedestrian deaths nationwide. There were 4.7 pedestrian deaths per 100,000 population in New Mexico that year, and there were 103 pedestrian deaths reported statewide. 

You should feel safe traveling as a pedestrian. Unfortunately, statistics show that New Mexico continues to be a dangerous place for those who travel on foot. There is little protection afforded to pedestrians, and this means that they are likely to suffer the brunt of any resulting injuries in the event of a collision. These accidents end up resulting in life-changing injuries that can rack up significant medical debt and other losses that you may not be prepared to handle. You should not leave your recovery to chance. Instead, you need to contact an experienced New Mexico pedestrian accident lawyer with experience handling these types of cases to ensure you can reach a successful outcome to a potential personal injury claim.
