New Mexico Auto Collisions

New Mexico is no stranger to car accidents. Over 20,000 people sustain injuries in car crashes in the Land of Enchantment every year, while hundreds lose their lives due to these wrecks. Currently, the majority of auto accidents that happen in New Mexico and throughout the United States are caused by the actions of negligent drivers. Some forms of driver negligence include: 

• Intoxication
• Distraction
• Fatigue
• speeding

Any action that takes your attention away from the road, or disobeys the rules and regulations put in place to keep everyone safe while driving, is considered driver negligence. Driver negligence is illegal in the United States due to being a risky and possibly deadly behavior. When people choose to act negligently while behind the wheel, they put themselves and everyone around them at serious risk for severe injuries or even death.
