Car Accidents in New Mexico

Each year, tens of thousands of motor vehicle collisions that result in injuries occur right here in the state of New Mexico. Quite often, these automobile accidents are caused by negligence. Some of the leading factors of car crashes that we see here in New Mexico include:

• Reckless driving: Reckless driving is any disregard for public safety while operating a vehicle, such as speeding, tailgating, or running red lights.
• Impaired Driving: Impaired driving is any form of impaired judgment while behind the wheel, such as drunk driving, drugged driving, or fatigued driving.
• Distracted driving: Distracted driving is anything that takes your attention away from the task of driving, such as using your cell phone, changing the radio station, or eating.

When motorists fail to operate their vehicles in a manner that is safe for other drivers around, they continue to cause harm to innocent parties.
