Car Wrecks in New Mexico

Driving can be incredibly dangerous, and for New Mexico residents, car accidents continue to be the leading cause of death and serious injury. According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there were 466 traffic fatalities reported on the state’s roads in 2022, and 122 of these deaths involved car crashes. Almost 36 percent of these deaths involved an intoxicated driver, contributing to 170 deaths in total. 

You may not be sure if you are able to pursue a claim after being injured in a car crash. In more minor accidents, it may not be necessary to take legal action. However, in more serious cases, you definitely need to at least consider pursuing a personal injury claim. If you suffered catastrophic injuries, it is strongly advised that you consult with a trained personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. If you later decide to pursue a claim for compensation, your lawyer will act as your advocate during every step of your case. Your lawyer will be able to make sure that the insurance provider treats your claim with the respect it deserves. 

If you do not partner with a skilled lawyer, you are effectively living your recovery to chance. You will be more at risk of having the insurer deny your claim or limit your final settlement. You do not want this to happen. You want to make sure that the compensation check you are offered is more than enough to cover the full extent of your injuries and other damages.
