New Mexico Distracted Driving Crashes

Everybody using the road has a responsibility to be cautious. Too many people in New Mexico, sadly, fail to pay attention to the road as they should. In New Mexico, there are over 45,000 registered auto accidents annually, and the bulk of these collisions are caused by distracted drivers, according to statistics. In a recent year, there was one recorded distracted driving collision in the state roughly every 56 minutes. In the time it takes to send a text message, you can travel the length of a football field, which is more than enough time to cause an accident that might change someone’s life. If you or someone close to you is hurt in a car accident, you need to be ready to pursue a strong claim for recovery with the help of a component legal team.
