New Mexico Car Crashes

Roadways in New Mexico are far from safe. In fact, according to a recent study, the state has a particularly high number of reckless and drunk drivers compared to the national average. The data show that New Mexico has the second-worst drivers in the nation. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration placed the state fifth for reckless driving collisions, twelfth for accidents involving speeding, and tenth for the number of drunk-driving-related arrests in a recent year. Even for drivers who adhere to all road rules, driving in New Mexico can be dangerous. You should make sure you are prepared if a negligent driver causes you harm as a result of a serious car accident. This often means working closely with a compassionate and trained legal team to pursue the strongest personal injury claim possible.
