Distracted Driving Crashes in New Mexico

Too many drivers are failing to properly pay attention to the roadway, and this is a serious issue in New Mexico. Cell phone use may be one of the most notable instances of distracted driving in the state, and many motorists are very comfortable driving while sending a text or scrolling on their social media apps. Statistics show that an estimated 3,000 people are killed annually by distracted drivers in the United States. This makes up nearly 8 to 9 percent of annual traffic fatalities reported each year across the country. 

Driving is something that most of us have to do every single day during our everyday lives. There is little you can do to prevent a serious car accident, and the actions of a reckless driver can leave you with serious injuries in a matter of seconds. Dealing with a serious collision can be very hard on your own, but unfortunately, the path to recovery immediately after can often be just as difficult. There are many things that you need to do in order to protect your rights and make sure that you are not cheated regarding your full compensation.

It is an unfortunate reality that insurance companies do not want to pay out car injury settlements. These businesses will do whatever they can to prevent having to pay you the full value of your claim, and that means they will use anything you say against you and your case. This is why you should not provide a recorded statement to the insurance adjuster when they contact you after the fact. Instead, contact a qualified personal injury lawyer who will be able to make sure your rights are secured and your settlement is enough to cover your damages. 

The aftermath of a serious car accident can be devastating, and you need a team of Albuquerque car accident lawyers on your side to make sure you are able to obtain full compensation.
