Car Crashes in New Mexico

Roadway safety is a serious issue in New Mexico. People are killed and hurt daily in car crashes across the state. In 2022 alone, there were 466 roadway deaths reported in the Land of Enchantment. The state also leads the nation in alcohol-related crashes, and an estimated 36 percent of deadly crashes in the state involve drunk drivers. Bernalillo County has more collisions than any other county in the state, with 143 roadway deaths in a recent year. No matter what caused your crash, you may be able to pursue a claim for compensation if you are unfairly injured on the state’s roads. 

You can be hurt in a crash at almost any time, and it is important that you have a plan in place if you or someone close to you is hurt due to the actions of a reckless driver. You should always see a trusted medical practitioner after a crash. This can be used as evidence later on if you choose to pursue a personal injury claim to connect your injuries to the accident.
