New Mexico Car Crashes

People who drive in New Mexico are known to be some of the worst in the country. There is an average of one accident every 12 minutes on the state’s roads, so there is always a risk of being hurt in a crash. It’s even worse that almost every 26 minutes, someone is injured in a collision somewhere in the state. New Mexico has some of the worst drivers, and Bernalillo County has the most accidents of any county in the state. Statistics show that only about one percent of New Mexico crashes are fatal, and about one-third end in injuries. Drunk driving, not paying attention, and going too fast are some of the most common things that cause major accidents in the state. If a careless driver hurts you or a loved one, you might be able to file a claim for compensation with the help of an experienced accident lawyer.
