New Mexico Reckless Driving Accidents

Reckless behavior can be deadly on the road, and the number of crashes caused by distracted driving in this country is astounding. Almost every day we witness drivers looking down at their phones while at stop signs or behind the wheel. Recent surveys reveal that a sizable portion of drivers freely acknowledge using their phones while operating a vehicle. New Mexico has one of the highest rates of distracted driving-related collisions. According to statistics, distracted driving is suspected in about 40.75 percent of collisions in the state. This number is around five times greater than the national average. If a distracted driver causes you harm while driving in New Mexico, you have the right to seek just compensation.
