Car Crashes in New Mexico

In New Mexico, there were over 50,000 traffic accidents in 2019. Statistics show that 2,415 people were injured in car crashes that year, and 425 more people died. Fatal automobile accidents can happen for a number of causes, including texting while driving, being sleepy, and congested roadways.

You might be eligible for compensation if the negligence of another motorist caused your injuries in a car accident in New Mexico.

There are a few things you should do after getting hurt in a car accident to assist your claim. Find any prospective witnesses and even ask them to give written accounts of what occurred. Any documentation that lists the costs and losses you have suffered should be kept as evidence of your damages. Your medical expenses, your doctor's comments, the length of time you missed from work as a result of the accident, and more could all be crucial pieces of evidence in your case and help you get better.

You must begin your claim as soon as you can if you want to take every precaution to ensure the success of your case. Even though the statute of limitations for bringing a personal injury claim in New Mexico is three years from the date of the accident, contact a New Mexico vehicle accident attorney while the incident is still recent in the memories of witnesses, police, and paramedics. The earlier you begin developing your case, the more confident you may be that every important detail will be remembered and readily available as evidence.
