Car Crashes in New Mexico

The number of deadly collisions taking place in New Mexico has become a concern. There were 466 traffic deaths reported across New Mexico in 2022, and 122 of these incidents involved car crashes. Almost 36 percent of these deaths involved driver intoxication, contributing to 170 deaths. Nearly 180 of these fatalities were unrestrained at the time of the accident, compared to 106 who were wearing a seatbelt.

It is important that you are able to make informed decisions if you are injured in a car accident. These events can be extremely stressful and traumatic, and you will likely be going through a whirlwind of emotions. It is common for crash victims to be unsure of what needs to be done in order to pursue a strong claim in defense of their compensation. You will likely be dealing with medical bills, lost wages due to being unable to return to work, and even pain and suffering.
