Car Accidents in New Mexico

Driving is one of the riskiest things we do practically every day, and every year, many people in New Mexico suffer severe injuries in car accidents that have a significant negative impact on their life. According to the Traffic Research Center at the University of New Mexico, there were 37 traffic-related fatalities in New Mexico overall in December. A total of 470 people lost their lives in car accidents in 2021. According to statistics, auto, SUV, or pickup truck collisions were to blame for 22 of the 37 fatalities.

After a car accident, New Mexicans might be eligible to make a claim for compensation. Typically, the victim will file a claim with the insurance company of the at-fault party. Even if the injured party has evidence that the negligent driver was speeding or acting in another negligent manner, it could still be difficult to secure enough and appropriate compensation.
