New Mexico Car Accidents

Incredibly, 470 people died in automobile accidents on New Mexico's roads in 2021. This is a notable increase from the 425 traffic deaths reported in the state in 2019. Speeding, aggressive driving, and distracted driving were some of the most common causes of fatal accidents in New Mexico in recent years. In 2021, there were more traffic deaths than there had been in at least ten years. 

People often refer to car crashes as accidents, but the conditions that lead to many of them are anything but. Your life can be changed forever by the negligence of others. You have the right to file a civil claim against the responsible party for the physical injuries and monetary losses you have sustained. You can get the money you require and deserve by working with an accomplished New Mexico personal injury lawyer.

Some people may suffer injuries as a result of their own negligence, recklessness, or inattention, but many accidents can be attributed to someone else's reckless actions. Your accident can be caused by many different actors. Other drivers' negligence or a vehicle defect may play a role in auto accidents. Slip-and-fall claims and other premises liability cases are frequently the result of a property owner's negligence. The insurance provider of the at-fault party will take every precaution to limit their financial obligations and limit their exposure to liability.
