Distracted Driving Accidents in New Mexico

You can only do so much to prevent a serious collision. Other drivers’ actions are out of our control, and negligence is common on New Mexico’s roads. In fact, it was discovered that driver distraction ranked as the top factor in serious crashes in the state in 2018. Driver distraction caused 3,482 collisions throughout the state that year. In 2017, a distracted driver was to blame for a collision every 56 minutes in the state. The fact that this kind of careless driver accounts for 21.5 percent of injury crashes, 20.3 percent of property damage collisions, and 8.3 percent of traffic fatalities in New Mexico should be cause for alarm.

It is impossible to control the actions of a reckless driver, and that means even the safest drivers are at risk of being injured while traveling on New Mexico roadways. The high chance of being involved in a crash means that you need to have a plan if you are ever the victim of a collision. You need to know of a trusted attorney who you can partner with to make sure that you get the full and fair compensation you are owed for your injuries and other damages. This is often the only way to make sure that you are able to make a complete recovery after being unfairly hurt by a reckless driver. 

You should never have to be alone after a serious car accident. Pursuing a personal injury claim on your own can be difficult and time-consuming, it is common for crash victims to quickly become overwhelmed when trying to take legal action while also dealing with significant injuries and damages.
