Car Accidents in New Mexico

Car accidents cause tens of thousands of injuries across New Mexico every year. In countless instances, these accidents are completely preventable. We see innocent people left with serious injuries as a result of drivers who engage in negligent actions. Leading factors in car crashes across our state include:

• Tailgating
• Poor road conditions
• Aggressive driving
• Falling asleep at the wheel
• Impaired visibility
• Cell phone use

When drivers engage in reckless actions that disregard the safety of others sharing the road, they can cause serious accidents that ultimately end in injuries to innocent people.

After being hurt in a car crash, victims have the ability to file a personal injury claim for compensation. In New Mexico, awards for damages are provided to victims based on pure comparative negligence laws. This law indicates that the amount of money that you received for your personal injury claim will be reduced to reflect any fault that you have shared in the accident. However, you have the ability to collect compensation from the person who caused you harm for any share of the accident that they have.
