New Mexico Auto Accidents

New Mexico drivers are among some of the worst in the county. If that fact is not bad enough, Albuquerque motorists are some of the worst in the state. This means that it is fairly common to see a reckless driver cause a catastrophic collision when traveling in the city. According to statistics from the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT), the number of fatal crashes in the state increased by nearly 20 percent from 2020 to 2021. There were 398 traffic deaths reported in New Mexico in 2020, increasing to 481 in 2021. 

The road can be an unpredictable place, and you can never completely stop a reckless driver from causing a crash that leaves you with serious injuries.
