Car crashes continue to be the leading cause of death and serious injury in the state of New Mexico. There were 29,541 vehicle collisions that took place in the state in 2018. Statistics show that 229 of these crashes ended in fatalities. The state is home to the second worst drivers in the country, and you can never completely control the actions of another motorist. That means there is always a risk of being involved in a car accident when traveling on the state’s roadways.
We all know someone who has been seriously hurt in a car accident. Most of us think that it will never happen in our own lives. Unfortunately, car crashes can and do happen every single day.

There are certain things that need to be done if you want to have a successful personal injury claim, and these steps start immediately after the crash.
You need to make sure that anyone involved in the crash was not seriously hurt. Even if you were not, you should still see a medical professional as soon as possible.
