Car Crashes in New Mexico

In 2019, there were around 50,000 car crashes in New Mexico, resulting in 20,415 injuries and 425 fatalities. Risky behavior like intoxicated or distracted driving regularly leads to auto accidents all across the state. Many factors, including insufficient sleep, crowded roadways, and texting while driving, can result in fatal car accidents. You may be eligible for compensation if another driver's negligence caused a vehicle accident that left you injured in New Mexico.

There are a few things you should do after a car accident to bolster your claim. Locate any witnesses you can and, if at all possible, attempt to have them provide a written statement. Any documentation that lists the costs and losses you have suffered should be saved as evidence of your damages. These are just a few examples of the kinds of records that could be helpful to your claim. Others include your medical bills, the comments of your doctor, and the amount of time you missed at work as a result of the accident.

It is imperative to begin your claim as soon as you can if you want to make every effort to ensure the success of your case. Even though the statute of limitations for submitting a personal injury claim in New Mexico is three years from the date of the accident, contact an auto accident attorney in New Mexico while the incident is still fresh in the eyes of witnesses, police, and paramedics. The earlier you begin developing your case, the more certain you can be that every important detail will be remembered and readily available as evidence.
