New Mexico Car Accidents

Car crashes continue to be the leading cause of death or serious injury in New Mexico and across the United States. Tens of thousands of collisions are reported annually in the Land of Enchantment, and most of us have to drive in order to get around and go about our everyday lives. Hundreds are killed in New Mexico car crashes each year, with thousands more suffering serious injuries. The leading causes of serious collisions in the state include speeding, intoxication, and driver distraction. Any driver who willingly engages in reckless behavior and causes a crash should be held responsible. 

The road can be a dangerous place, and for many New Mexico residents, driving is a way of life. You need to be sure that you can protect your legal rights if you or someone close to you is unfairly hurt in a serious auto accident. If you are hurt by another person’s reckless actions, you may have grounds to pursue a personal injury claim. Unfortunately, dealing with a legal case can be overwhelming when also trying to manage new injuries and other unexpected damages. You need to be sure that you can maximize your recovery by working with a trained personal injury lawyer at every step of your case.
