Distracted Driving Accidents in New Mexico

Distracted driving can mean a lot of different things. While it is well known that texting and driving is dangerous, there are also other activities that fall under this category, including talking with a passenger and fumbling with the radio dial. In the United States, distracted driving resulted in over 3,000 fatalities and over 424,000 injuries in a recent year. Statistics further that nearly one in five of those killed in these accidents were outside a motor vehicle. In the event of an accident, drivers who are distracted should be held accountable for their actions. This is often only possible when you pursue a personal injury claim with the help of a trained lawyer.
