New Mexico Car Crashes

The frequency of car crashes in the United States and throughout the state of New Mexico has drastically increased in the past decade. In 2020, more than 400 individuals were killed in deadly car crashes in the Land of Enchantment, and tens of thousands were seriously hurt. Throughout the nation, the rate at which individuals are injured due to traffic accidents is alarming – about 7,500 per day sustain injuries in collisions. The most alarming aspect of these incidents is that they are mostly caused by negligent driving.

Driver negligence may be displayed in several different ways. Right now, the type of driver negligence most commonly seen in the United States is driver distraction, which causes over 400,000 yearly car accidents. These collisions cause more than 3,000 individuals to lose their lives and thousands more to sustain injuries. Other types of negligent driving include intoxication, fatigue, and speeding. Despite the type of negligence that leads to an accident, oftentimes, people sustain severe or even deadly injuries in these types of wrecks.
