Distracted Driving Crashes in New Mexico

We all see drivers who are looking down at their phones every day, and driver distraction is becoming widespread throughout the country. New Mexico has an extremely high rate of crashes caused by distraction. Almost 41 percent of fatal collisions in the country involve driver distraction in some form. This is nearly 12 percent higher than the second-highest state on the list: Hawaii. It is also almost five times higher than the national average. These statistics should be cause for concern for anyone who has to travel on New Mexico roadways. 

Your ability to make a complete recovery after a crash will depend on several factors. The severity of your injuries and your degree of liability will ultimately be the most significant. If you suffer life-threatening injuries, you will likely incur extensive damages, including medical bills, lost income, and vehicle repair costs, but these are just a few of the many potential losses that are common in vehicle collisions. Your very way of life can be on the line, but you need to be sure that you can make a complete recovery if you or someone close to you is unfairly hurt by a reckless driver.
