Car Wrecks in New Mexico

After an auto accident, you have to be prepared to act. Tragic auto accidents claim hundreds of lives and harm tens of thousands more each year in New Mexico. In 2022, 466 traffic fatalities were reported in the state. According to the most recent crash data, drunk driving was a contributory role in 180 of these deaths, or almost 36 percent of the state’s total road deaths that year. The state tops the nation in arrests for alcohol-related offenses and has a severe problem with intoxicated drivers. Unfortunately, Albuquerque has continuously recorded the greatest number of traffic accidents in the state of New Mexico, which is home to some of the worst drivers in the nation. You should consider speaking with an experienced attorney before pursuing a compensation claim after a crash, since handling these legal matters on your own can be overwhelming and result in the reduction of the compensation sum you may be awarded from your damages.
