New Mexico Distracted Driving Accidents

While operating a motor vehicle, you have to pay close attention to the road. Unfortunately, many drivers can't seem to live up to this basic rule of the road. Across New Mexico, driving while distracted has become a major factor in many serious auto accidents. Over 3,000 people nationwide lose their lives to distracted driving, while many more suffer injuries. When traveling at highway speeds, you can cover the length of a football field just by looking down to send a text, and drivers who engage in distracted behavior behind the wheel will have their eyes off the road nearly 10 percent of the time. 

There aren't many things that can really prepare you for a major auto accident. Your entire life could be changed forever in a matter of seconds, and you might have to deal with severe injuries and other losses that you are not ready to handle on your own.
