Reckless Driving Accidents in New Mexico

One can never control another driver, and New Mexico drivers are among the worst in the nation. Reckless driving is all over the road, and there are several common factors that can lead to life-changing car accidents. Driver distraction was the main contributor to car crashes in the state in a recent year. That year, around 21.5 percent of injury collisions, 20.3 percent of property damage accidents, and 8.3 percent of fatal crashes involved some form of driver distraction. If a driver causes a serious crash due to their own negligence, you should not be held responsible. Instead, partner with a qualified Albuquerque car accident lawyer to pursue the strongest personal injury claim possible in order to maximize your recovery. 

You should never go up against a large insurance provider on your own. You may think that you have everything needed to handle your case alone, but this is usually not the case. These companies have their own team of lawyers on their side working to defend their bottom line, leaving you at a serious disadvantage. You need to make sure you have a trained attorney working hard to protect your legal rights.
