New Mexico Car Wrecks

Some of the worst drivers in the nation call New Mexico their home, and the statistics back up this claim. Unfortunately, Albuquerque is home to some of the worst drivers in the state. The city recorded the most traffic collisions in the Land of Enchantment in 2019. In Bernalillo County, there were 19,034 reported collisions that year, with one reported every 27 minutes on average. More than any other city in the state, there were 675 alcohol-related crashes documented in Albuquerque that year. It is safe to say that you need to be on the lookout when sharing the road with New Mexico drivers. 

New Mexico roadways only continue to become more and more dangerous with each passing year. Your risk of being injured in a crash is always present when you travel on the state’s roadways, and you should be prepared to protect your legal rights if you are unfairly hurt by a reckless driver. The damages that result from a car accident can include medical bills, lost income, vehicle repairs, and pain and suffering. You need to talk with a trained New Mexico personal injury lawyer so you can know all the losses that you are able to recover in your claim. If you do not have a strong understanding of your case, you may be convinced to accept a settlement that is not enough to cover the full extent of your losses.
