New Mexico Distracted Driving Accidents

In the state of New Mexico, driver distraction continues to be a major problem. The 2018 New Mexico Traffic Crash Annual Report (NMTCAR) states that distracted driving is a factor in nearly 20.6 percent of car crashes reported throughout the state. Serious crashes are often caused by the reckless actions of other drivers. In 2015, there were 62,787 crashes reported in the state of New Mexico and 21,894 of those featured some sort of driver inattention. In the United States, distracted drivers cause more than 3,000 fatalities every year.

Although nobody ever plans to be in an automobile accident, New Mexico is a state where they occur on a daily basis. Everyone knows someone who has been involved in a collision, so it is critical to have a plan in place in case you or a loved one is harmed by a careless driver. It is always advised that you seek legal advice as soon as possible because your entire way of life may be in jeopardy.

Following an accident, your actions can often determine whether your personal injury claim is successful or if you are not able to get the compensation you are entitled to.

For the rest of your life, your capacity to receive complete compensation will dictate how you live, and you should never put your recovery at risk. You should work with a lawyer who has years of expertise handling cases similar to yours rather than attempting to take on a major insurance company on your own.
