Car Accidents in New Mexico

Dealing with the devastating aftermath of an automobile accident can be pretty challenging. The unfortunate truth is that thousands of accidents are reported monthly, many of which end in severe and painful injuries for those involved. It is common to see victims suffer from serious injuries to the head, back injuries, broken bones, and severe cuts and lacerations.

After being hurt in an accident, a car crash victim can take legal action. To prevail, a victim must be able to demonstrate the active negligence that led to the accident taking place. Some of the most common factors in collisions across our state include:

• Tailgating
• Running red lights
• Passing stop signs
• Poor road conditions
• Fatigue
• Inexperienced drivers

When drivers do not operate their vehicles safely, they can be held accountable for their actions if they directly cause a crash. It is important to note that even if you shared some part of the responsibility for the accident, you can still pursue a claim for compensation against any other party who shared fault. The amount of money you receive will be reduced in proportion to the amount of fault that you share.
