New Mexico Distracted Driving Crashes
Every year, more and more car accidents are caused by distracted driving, which is becoming more common in the United States. It makes sense that drivers pose a major risk to everyone when they are staring down at their phones rather than on the road. Driver distraction is a serious issue in New Mexico, where it contributes significantly to the annual vehicle fatality rate According to statistics, driver distraction accounts for about 36 percent of road fatalities in New Mexico, making it one of the worst states in the country for distracted driving crashes. At highway speeds, you can cover the length of a football field in the time it takes to send one text. If you or someone close to you is hurt in a crash, you may be able to recoup lost compensation by seeking a personal injury claim with a trained lawyer.
It is the driver’s responsibility, not the victim’s, to cover any resulting injuries and damages after a serious crash. The driver of the car that caused the crash can be held liable for the victim’s injuries and other damages if they choose to file a personal injury claim. However, filing a personal injury claim is often more difficult than it first appears. During this trying moment, you should not take any chances with your recovery.
