Distracted Driving Crashes in New Mexico

In the United States, distracted driving is a major problem that is getting worse every year. Data from the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) show that distracted drivers are responsible for many motor accidents in the state. Nowadays, it is not unusual to witness drivers glancing down at their phones, and it is possible to cover a football field in the time it takes to write one text while driving at highway speeds. One form of driver distraction is using a mobile device while operating a vehicle, but other actions, like conversing with a passenger or fiddling with the radio, can be just as risky. After a major crash, it is always in your best interest to seek full compensation by working with a tireless and knowledgeable attorney.
