New Mexico Auto Collisions

In the state of New Mexico, driver negligence has become a significant problem. In the past decade, negligent driving has been on the rise throughout the country, causing millions of car crashes per year and taking the lives of tens of thousands of people. Drivers who are distracted, fatigued, traveling at unsafe speeds, or intoxicated put themselves and everyone around them in harm’s way on a regular basis in the United States. Unfortunately, every time you get in a vehicle to travel, you are at risk of becoming involved in a collision because of another person’s negligent actions. This is why it is so important to remain sober, alert, aware, and fully awake while behind the wheel. 

Every year, in the United States, around 6 million car crashes are reported. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that over 90% of reported car accidents are caused by the actions of negligent drivers, which means that over 5 million vehicle accidents happen per year due to driver negligence. This may be difficult to fathom for most people. Additionally, about 3 million people in the US annually suffer injuries, meaning that most of millions suffer injuries because of negligent driving.
