New Mexico Car Crashes

New Mexico drivers are known for being some of the worst in the country. The state’s roads are dangerous, and statistics show that an accident occurs every 12 minutes on average. The fact that someone is injured in a crash nearly every 26 minutes is even worse. Albuquerque drivers have an equally poor reputation, and Bernalillo County has the highest crash rate in the state. Based on statistical data, roughly 1 percent of collisions in the state result in fatalities, while roughly one-third result in injuries. Among the most frequent causes of significant crashes in the state are driving while intoxicated, distracted driving, and speeding. If a negligent driver hurts you or a loved one, you may be able to pursue a claim for compensation with the help of an experienced accident lawyer.
