New Mexico Auto Accidents

New Mexico has some of the worst drivers in the country. Unfortunately, some of the worst motorists in the state live right here in Albuquerque. In 2019, the city experienced the highest number of vehicle collisions in the Land of Enchantment. There were 19,034 crashes reported in Bernalillo County that year, with a collision being reported every 27 minutes on average. There were 675 alcohol-related crashes reported across Albuquerque that year, more than any other city across the state. 

Our lawyers serve people in and around the greater Albuquerque area. We want to help crash victims receive the complete compensation they are due if they were seriously hurt by a reckless driver. Vehicle collisions can be extremely traumatic, and for most, they can be the hardest times of their lives. You need to make sure you are armed with the right information so you can make informed decisions about your recovery. Your compensation should be enough to cover any medical bills, lost wages, and other damages resulting from your accident. 

Crash victims across New Mexico may be hesitant to negotiate with an insurance provider. There is a good reason for this reluctance. Policies involving insurance coverage can be very hard for people to understand, especially if they do not have experience in the law. In many cases, there can be a lot of red tape and unclear language in a policy that can make your ability to recover difficult. These are some of the primary reasons you need to have a New Mexico auto accident attorney handling your case from the very beginning. 

You need to do whatever you can to maximize your compensation if you were seriously hurt in a vehicle collision.
