Distracted Driving Accidents in New Mexico

Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of collisions in New Mexico. The use of GPS or texting while operating a vehicle are both examples of driver distraction, but using mobile devices is one of the worst offenders. Many motorists fail to consider how risky it is to glance away from the road, even for a brief moment, to check a text message. When you check your phone while driving down the highway, you can cover the length of an entire football field. This is terrifying when you consider how much damage you can do if you cause a crash while looking down at your phone. 

Crash victims do not always have to hire an attorney to pursue a personal injury claim. If you were just involved in a minor fender bender and did not suffer serious injuries, you will probably be fine if you just dealt with the insurance provider on your own. However, there is always a chance that you suffered more serious injuries than you think. It is actually common for crash victims to think that they are completely fine after a collision due to the adrenaline coursing through their bodies. This can mistakenly lead you to think that you were not seriously injured. That is why it is always recommended to see a trusted physician after a car accident so you can better understand your situation.
