Car Crashes in New Mexico

About 50,000 traffic incidents occurred in New Mexico in 2019, resulting in 20,415 injuries and 425 fatalities. In the state, a motor vehicle collision is reported every 11 minutes, and one of these collisions results in injuries every 26 minutes. Both small bumps and bruises and catastrophic, perhaps permanently crippling wounds can result from car accidents. In a couple of seconds, a negligent driver could create a serious vehicle accident that results in many fatalities.

Navigating the claims process can be challenging, especially if you are still recovering from a traumatic occurrence. If a careless driver caused an accident that injured you or a loved one, you might be worried about how you'll pay your bills while you take time off to recover. You can file a personal injury lawsuit claim against the reckless driver's insurance coverage to obtain the money you need and be able to fully heal.

A deadline to file a claim is established under the personal injury statute of limitations. In New Mexico, a claim cannot be made if three years have passed since the time of the accident. That means if you or a member of your family was injured in a car accident, you have three years to file a personal injury claim. Missing this deadline can mean you are prevented from pursuing compensation from the at-fault party.
