New Mexico Distracted Driving Crashes

When driving, you have to give the road your whole focus. Texting while driving is a common practice among New Mexico drivers, and it is fast rising to the top of the list of factors contributing to catastrophic collisions across the country. Although it should go without saying that looking down at your phone while driving puts your life in danger, many drivers do it every single day. New Mexico has one of the highest rates of distracted driving-related collisions in the country. Distracted drivers are thought to be at fault in 82 fatal wrecks per million residents in the state, which is almost twice as many as in Louisiana, the state with the second-highest rate of distracted driving fatalities. After a collision, you should make sure that you are able to pursue a claim for compensation by carefully collaborating with an experienced lawyer.

Sharing the road with another driver carries a constant risk of injury, and the road is always a potentially dangerous place. Ultimately, you have no influence over another driver’s behavior behind the wheel.
