New Mexico Distracted Driving Accidents

When you look down at your phone to answer a text while operating a motor vehicle, you endanger your life. Sadly, an increasing number of drivers are indulging in what is known as distracted driving on New Mexico’s roads. The state undoubtedly has the highest national rate of crashes involving distracted drivers. In New Mexico, 82 fatal crashes per million population involved distracted drivers. This is almost twice as high as Louisiana, the state with the second highest rate. Males between the ages of 25 and 44 are the most common offenders in distracted driving accidents across the state. Reckless drivers should be held responsible for their actions in the event of a serious crash. This is often only possible when you work with a trained lawyer. 

In New Mexico, serious car crashes happen almost every day, and nearly every time you get on the road, there is a chance that you will be injured by a careless driver. You can’t always prevent a major collision from happening. This is because you can’t completely control what others do on the road. If you or a loved one is unjustly injured in a car accident, you need to be certain that you can pursue a strong claim for compensation. Your entire way of life may be in jeopardy, so you need to make certain that you can obtain the maximum amount of money to cover your injuries and other damages.
