New Mexico Distracted Driving Crashes

Distracted driving is a serious safety hazard in New Mexico. As a matter of fact, there is a distracted driving collision reported in the state approximately every 56 minutes. In the past year, 9,386 documented car accidents in the state were brought on by distracted drivers. When driving in New Mexico, it does not take long to see individuals staring down at their phones at stop signs, traffic signals, and even while operating a motor vehicle. In 2021, 195 persons in New Mexico lost their lives as a result of distracted driving. Drivers should be held accountable for their actions and any resulting damages if they cause a serious crash. If you or someone close to you is hurt in a crash, you should consult a qualified lawyer to pursue a strong claim for compensation. 

A person injured in a catastrophic traffic accident may be able to file a personal injury settlement to get financial compensation. Working with an experienced attorney can help you obtain the money you are entitled to without having to go to court. However, your lawyer must be prepared to take that action and bring your case to trial if the insurer refuses to cooperate. After a major auto accident, too much is at stake to take your claim lightly. If you want to get the best possible outcome for your case, you must get in touch with an experienced legal team to get to work on your case. 

You should not hesitate after a serious crash. The longer you take to pursue a case, the harder it will be to get the full value of your claim.
