Distracted Driving Crashes in New Mexico

Driver distraction is quickly becoming the leading cause of terrible crashes across the country. A study from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) shows that New Mexico has one of the highest rates of accidents involving distracted driving. Recent studies have found that this careless behavior is just as dangerous as driving while drunk and that most people who are hurt in these accidents are younger than 20 years old. Over 3,000 people die every year, and hundreds of thousands more are seriously hurt because drivers are not paying attention to the road. A driver who is distracted will take their eyes off the road almost 10 percent of the time. Make sure you are ready to file a strong claim for compensation with the help of a skilled lawyer.
