Car Crashes in New Mexico

There’s always a risk of being hurt in a crash any time you travel on the road. Major collisions are never planned, and they take the lives of many New Mexicans every day. A car crash is reported in the state every 12 minutes, and someone is hurt on the state’s roads almost every 26 minutes, according to the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT). New Mexico is not known for having safe roads, and two careless driving behaviors that commonly result in severe collisions throughout the Land of Enchantment are speeding and distracted driving. You must be prepared to pursue a solid claim for compensation following a serious car accident with the help of a determined car crash lawyer. 

The steps you take after a serious car accident can impact the rest of your life.
