New Mexico Distracted Driving Accidents

On New Mexico’s highways, distracted driving has become a common sight, and many drivers openly admit to taking part in dangerous habits like using a smartphone while driving. New Mexico leads the nation in distracted driving fatalities, with 61.6 per 1 million population, and has some of the highest rates of driving while drunk. Distracted driving is a contributing factor in a startling 40.75 percent of collisions reported in the state. Thousands are killed each year by distracted drivers nationwide. 

Anytime you are on or near the road, there is always a chance of an unexpected car accident, and nothing can fully prepare you for being hurt in a collision caused by a careless driver. Your way of life can be at risk due to the injuries and other damages you suffer in the crash, and you can feel helpless and unsure of what has to be done to make a full recovery. Most people are unfamiliar with the legal system or how to pursue a claim for compensation. For this reason, it is always advised that you speak with an experienced personal injury attorney who is prepared to take on your case and secure the money you are entitled to.
