Distracted Driving Accidents in New Mexico

Driver distraction is quickly becoming the leading cause of serious car accidents across the country. In 2014, New Mexico ranked fifth in the nation for reckless driving, according to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Recent statistics have found that driver distraction can be just as dangerous as driving while intoxicated. There were 21,894 reported collisions in New Mexico caused by human error in 2015. Young drivers are more likely to drive while distracted, and people ages 20 to 24 were involved in the highest number of car accidents in 2015. 

You need to move quickly after a car accident to make sure that you are able to make a full recovery. A trusted lawyer can help make the process much easier to understand. Many crash victims do not even know how an attorney can help them following a serious collision. Your lawyer can gather evidence from the scene of the crash in order to determine who is liable for your injuries. He or she will also be able to collect medical evidence that proves the extent of your injuries along with any prescribed treatment regimens from your physician. 

The insurance company will likely reach out to you to offer an initial settlement offer. These settlements are usually not enough to cover the full extent of your injuries. Your lawyer will take over negotiations with the insurance provider to make sure your compensation is maximized. If necessary, we are ready to go to court to protect your right to full compensation. You should not be held financially liable for the negligence or wrongdoing of a reckless driver.
