Car Accidents in New Mexico

Car accidents can be incredibly devastating. Unfortunately, they take place at an alarming rate here in New Mexico. There are several reasons why we continue to see so many people injured as a result of accidents. Many of these crashes are a result of negligent drivers. Some of the leading factors include:

• Speeding: Exceeding posted speed limits impairs a driver’s control, increases the likelihood of running red lights or stop signs, and raises the risk of rollovers, often causing catastrophic injuries.
• Impaired Driving: New Mexico records over 3100 drunk or impaired driving-related arrests annually. Driving while under the influence can significantly impact drivers’ control and their ability to react in time to avoid collisions.
• Distracted Driving: Activities like eating, chatting, and using cellphones while driving hinder hazard recognition and awareness of other vehicles on the road.
