Car Accidents in New Mexico

Every year, tens of thousands of people in New Mexico are left injured as a result of vehicle collisions. There are many instances where people are hurt in crashes that are caused by negligent motorists. Some of the leading factors in vehicle collisions that are reported in our state each year include:

• Speeding: drivers who operate their vehicles above the posted speed limit run the risk of losing control and crashing into others.
• Impairment: drivers who consume alcohol or do drugs before heading out on the road are more likely to be involved in accidents than sober drivers. This is due to the fact that intoxicants have the ability to impact a driver's judgment and could even lead to them falling asleep behind the wheel.
• Failing to Yield: drivers who do not yield to other vehicles run the risk of crashing into them. We often see accidents take place as a result of failing to yield while switching lanes or turning at intersections.

After a motor vehicle collision, car crash victims need to seek guidance from an Albuquerque car accident lawyer right away. Injured parties may be able to recover compensation to help ease some of the stress and financial burdens they face.
