Distracted Driving Crashes in New Mexico

Distracted driving can mean a lot of things on the road. We all know that texting behind the wheel is dangerous, but doing things as innocent as having a conversation with a passenger or messing with the radio dial are also considered incidents of distracted driving. More than 3,000 people are killed annually by distracted drivers, with more than 424,000 people being injured nationwide in 2019. One in five people killed by distracted drivers that year was outside of the vehicle with the reckless driver. 

You can only do so much to avoid a serious collision on the road. It only takes the actions of one reckless driver to cause a serious crash that leaves you with life-changing injuries. Your entire left can change for the worse after a collision, and you can never control the actions of other motorists. You are at risk of being hurt any time you hit the road. No one ever plans to get involved in a car accident, but it is important that you have a plan in place in order to protect your rights. Your very way of life is on the line, and you need to have a trained attorney on your side to make sure your case is handled appropriately. 

Your ability to pursue a claim for compensation will depend on a variety of factors. You have to establish negligence in order to show that the other driver was responsible for the crash that caused your injuries. Even if you think you have an open-and-shut case, it can be harder than you think to pursue a negligence claim without the right experience.
