Car Crashes in New Mexico

According to recent car crash statistics, 470 people lost their lives in vehicle accidents on state roads in New Mexico in 2021. Compared to the 425 traffic fatalities reported in 2019, this is a notable increase and should be cause for concern. Make sure you are ready in the event that a careless motorist causes you to sustain catastrophic injuries. As quickly as possible, you need to collaborate with an experienced lawyer to get started on your case. 

You can never completely prevent a serious crash from happening. There are so many reckless drivers traveling in New Mexico, and you can be hurt in a crash in a matter of seconds. What you do following the incident will determine the rest of your life. You need to be sure that you are able to make informed decisions about your future and security. It is common for accident victims to be unfamiliar with the claims process, and that is why it is always recommended that you reach out to a qualified auto accident lawyer in New Mexico. 

There are set timelines to file a claim in New Mexico. You need to consult with an attorney to make sure that this statute of limitations does not lapse. If it does, you may be unable to pursue any compensation at all. The same can be said if you accept a sub-par settlement from the insurance provider. Even if you later find out that your damages were more extensive than you once thought, if you accept a settlement, it will be very difficult to obtain any additional compensation.
