New Mexico Car Crashes

Driver distraction has become a serious and problematic issue throughout the country, taking the lives of around 3,000 people per year. 

Across the country, negligent driving is the main contributing factor in the majority of car crashes. Other causes do exist, including bad weather and vehicle problems; However, driver negligence causes more crashes than these combined. In the past decade, distracted driving has become more severe due to individuals who feel the constant need to check their cell phones. Accidents caused by negligent driving are often more severe and injurious than those that happen for other reasons. This is due to the fact that negligent drivers usually do not have time to react in the event of a collision.
