Distracted Driving Crashes in New Mexico

In New Mexico, driving while distracted is a major safety issue. In fact, there is a reported distracted driving collision in the state almost every 56 minutes. There were 9,386 recorded car accidents in the state caused by a distracted driver in a recent year. You don't have to look at the statistics to see how common distracted driving has become. You really just need to go for a quick drive and you will notice many people looking down at their phones at stop lights, intersections, and even while driving.  In 2021, distracted driving killed a total of 195 people in New Mexico. Drivers who fail to pay attention to the road and cause a serious crash should be held responsible for their actions and any resulting damages. 

A victim of a serious traffic accident can potentially seek financial compensation by filing a personal injury settlement. You should work with a trained lawyer who can help you get the compensation you are owed without having to go to court. However, if you are not able to reach an agreement with the at-fault party, your attorney needs to be ready to do so in order to protect your entitlement to full compensation. There is too much on the line after a serious car crash to leave your claim to chance. Be sure to consult with a qualified car crash lawyer to get the best possible outcome for your case.
