New Mexico Car Accidents

All across highways in Albuquerque, car accidents are a common sight, and these accidents leave many locals with serious and possibly fatal injuries. The New Mexico Department of Transportation reports that per day in 2018, there were 128 accidents, 54 injuries, and 1 fatality in New Mexico. Every 27 minutes, a car accident occurred in Bernalillo County in 2018. Call a lawyer as soon as you can if you were injured in a collision that was the fault of another driver.

Navigating the claims process can be challenging, particularly if you're still recovering from a serious auto accident. If a careless driver caused an accident that injured you or a loved one, you might be worried about how you'll pay your bills while you take time off to recuperate. You could file a personal injury lawsuit claim against the negligent driver's insurance policy to collect the money you need and be able to recover fully. You have three years after the time of the accident to pursue a claim in New Mexico. If you miss that deadline, you are at risk of forfeiting any right to compensation. 

Driving can be dangerous, so it is important to abide by traffic laws. Holding responsible those who choose to ignore traffic laws and inflict significant injuries is an important stage in the recovery of a crash victim. Construction workers, governments, businesses, and other parties involved in maintaining the road may all be held accountable when someone's actions result in injuries on the road. Accidents involving vehicles often result in fatalities or severe injuries that have a negative influence on the victims' lives and alter their future life trajectories for the worst.
