Distracted Driving Crashes in New Mexico

There is a serious problem with drivers in New Mexico who are not paying enough attention to the road. One of the most common examples of distracted driving in the state is probably cell phone use, and many drivers feel perfectly fine scrolling on social media or texting while operating a vehicle. According to most recent crash statistics, distracted driving causes an estimated 3,000 fatalities each year in the United States. This accounts for close to 8 to 9 percent of all traffic fatalities nationwide each year.

You need to make sure that you do everything in your power to protect your legal rights after a car accident. There will be a lot on the line, including your very way of life. Your settlement will be paid directly from the pockets of the insurance provider, and it will do whatever is possible in order to reduce your final compensation. This means taking things you say out of context and damaging your claim. Many crash victims accidentally hurt their cases without meaning to, and this can include innocently saying something to the insurance adjuster or posting on social media. 

Negotiating with the insurer is not easy, and this is especially true if you are dealing with serious injuries from a car accident. You should not be made to fight for your compensation on your own. You need to consult a qualified personal injury lawyer in New Mexico who has years of experience helping crash victims. Your legal representative will be able to fight for your case and make sure that you are able to make a complete recovery.
