New Mexico Car Crashes

Driving is one of the most dangerous things we do almost every day, and many New Mexico residents sustain serious injuries in car accidents each year. A total of 37 road fatalities occurred in the state of New Mexico in December, according to the Traffic Research Center at UNM. In 2021, there were 470 fatalities related to auto accidents. Statistics show that 22 of the 37 fatalities were caused by automobile, SUV, or pickup truck collisions.

The majority of avoidable car accidents are caused by other drivers’ negligence. In a case involving injuries sustained in a car accident, you must show that the other motorist was at fault for your accident and your injuries in order to claim compensation from the at-fault party’s insurance carrier. When it comes to legal claims involving traffic accidents, the New Mexico legal system has a fault-based system. This suggests that if you do not carefully follow the required legal procedure, it may be challenging to determine who is at fault for a car accident. You must be able to demonstrate specific legal requirements, such as the fact that the negligent party owed you a duty of care and disregarded that responsibility, in order to succeed in a personal injury case.
