New Mexico Reckless Driving Crashes

Reckless drivers are all over New Mexico’s roads and highways, and far too many drivers now readily admit to engaging in negligent behaviors like using a phone behind the wheel. In fact, New Mexico boasts one of the highest rates of distracted driving-related fatalities in the country, with roughly 61.6 accidents per million population. Nearly 40.75 percent of crashes in New Mexico involve distracted driving, nearly five times the national average. You could travel the length of an entire football field in the time it takes to send a single text traveling at highway speeds. This is more than enough distance to cause a life-changing crash. You need to be able to pursue a compensation claim with strong legal representation to achieve the full recovery you are owed.
