Distracted Driving Accidents in New Mexico

When operating a motor vehicle, all drivers have a responsibility to pay attention to the road. Sadly, a lot of people in New Mexico don’t. Across the state, distracted driving is becoming a bigger factor in major crashes. Every year, distracted driving results in more than 3,000 fatalities and numerous injuries across the nation. You can cover the length of an entire football field in the time it takes to send a single text while driving at highway speeds, which is more than enough to result in a catastrophic car crash. When operating a vehicle, you should always focus entirely on the road, and in the event of a catastrophic collision, those who fail to do so should face consequences. You can make a compelling case for compensation with the assistance of an experienced attorney.
