Distracted Driving Crashes in New Mexico

Driver distraction is on the rise across the country, and New Mexico has a particular issue with this negligent behavior. A study from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) shows that New Mexico has one of the highest rates of driver distraction crashes nationally. The majority of victims of these crashes are men under the age of 20 years old. Human error is the main cause of most car accidents, and statistics show that over 3,000 people die every year, and hundreds of thousands more are seriously hurt due to distracted drivers. A driver who is distracted will take their eyes off the road almost 10 percent of the time. Make sure you are ready to file a strong claim for compensation with the help of a skilled lawyer.
