Auto Accidents in New Mexico

In the state of New Mexico, driving a car requires constant attention, and when traveling on a public road, you are almost always at risk of being hurt in a major, unplanned vehicle accident. In New Mexico, there is a car accident reported every 13 minutes, and someone is hurt in a collision every 29 minutes. Nearly 30 percent of car crashes in the state result in injuries, and almost one percent result in fatalities, according to the latest figures.

After a crash, it is common for crash victims to believe that they were not seriously injured. However, you should still see a doctor as soon as possible. This could assist you in determining the extent of your injuries following a catastrophic collision. Any delay in seeing a doctor can affect your ability to pursue a personal injury claim in the future. In order to establish a record connecting your injuries to the crash, make sure you receive medical assistance right away. This can prove as important evidence if you later choose to pursue a claim for compensation. 

If the police are called to the scene of your accident, they will file an official report. Usually, one of the involved drivers will be held responsible in this report. Getting in touch with any witnesses to the crash can assist in strengthening your claim, and you might be able to use their testimony to support your request for compensation. Your lawyer can use this and other pieces of evidence from the scene to fight for your fair compensation.
