Reckless Driving Crashes in New Mexico

Driver distraction is a serious issue in the United States, and this problem is on the rise across our great state. Data from the New Mexico Department of Transportation reveal that the majority of car accidents in the state are caused by some form of driver distraction. When traveling at highway speeds, you can travel the length of a football field in the few seconds it takes to check your phone. Using a mobile device is one form of driver distraction, but other things, such as talking with a passenger or even messing with the radio, are all considered a form of distraction on the road. You may be able to pursue a personal injury claim with the help of a diligent legal team if you or a loved one is unfairly hurt in a crash.
