Car Accidents in New Mexico
Car accidents are incredibly devastating to deal with. Unfortunately, they are often preventable. Distracted drivers stand as a significant factor behind motor vehicle accidents in our state. These drivers become so busy with activities such as using cellphones to call or text, rubber-necking, changing their radios, and talking with passengers that they fail to pay attention to the road ahead. Unfortunately, distractions can lead to accidents happening in the blink of an eye that result in devastating and life-changing injuries.
Another common factor in motor vehicle accidents across our state is impairment. Some individuals mistakenly believe they are not “too intoxicated” to control their vehicle. However, even a single alcoholic beverage can impact a driver’s reaction time and their ability to react in time to objects or people on the road. Being under the influence of alcohol or drugs significantly impairs a person’s driving capability, leading to the risk of severe injuries and loss of life for others sharing the road.
