Distracted Driving Crashes in New Mexico
Every day, people in New Mexico continue to lose their lives and sustain severe injuries in auto accidents. The state has one of the highest per-capita rates of fatal motor vehicle accidents. A total of 425 traffic fatalities were reported across the state in 2019, increasing to 470 fatal crashes in 2021. The data is clear — fatal collisions in the state are on the rise. The primary causes of these collisions include speeding, irresponsible driving, and distracted driving.
If you are driving on or near a road, you could be in an automobile accident at any time. You should be ready to pursue a claim for damages in the event you are hurt by a negligent motorist. Although it is often the last thing that anyone ever plans for, many people in New Mexico suffer injuries in auto accidents regularly. If a catastrophic traffic accident leaves you with life-changing injuries, be ready to fight for full and just compensation. The at-fault driver’s insurance company will do all in its power to either outright reject your claim or, at the very least, persuade you to accept a settlement offer that falls short of fully compensating for your damages.
