Distracted Driving Crashes in New Mexico

Distracted driving can refer to a variety of behaviors and situations. While it is well known that texting and driving is a dangerous combination, additional activities that fall under this category also include conversing with a passenger and fiddling with the radio dial. In the United States, distracted driving resulted in over 3,000 fatalities and over 424,000 injuries in a recent year. Statistics show that an estimated one in five of these deaths were traveling outside a motor vehicle. In the event of an accident, drivers who are distracted should be held accountable because it is an extremely dangerous driving behavior. This is often only possible when you work closely with a competent attorney.
