Reckless Driving Crashes in New Mexico

New Mexico is home to some of the worst drivers in the country. That means that accidents can still occur even if you follow all traffic laws. You have no control over what other people do behind the wheel. Statistics show that the leading cause of car crashes in New Mexico in 2018 involved driver distraction. Driving while distracted contributed to roughly 21.5 percent of injury crashes and 8.3 percent of fatal crashes across the state that year. Drivers who fail to pay attention to the law should be held responsible for any resulting injuries or damages in the unfortunate event of a car accident.
