Motorcycle Accidents in New Mexico

There is no thrill quite like riding a motorcycle, but you are very vulnerable in the event of an accident. According to statistics, the number of fatal motorcycle accidents is on the rise in New Mexico. There were 59 motorcycle fatalities in the state last year, according to local reports. Contrary to popular belief, drivers in larger passenger cars are usually to blame for most of these crashes. The University of New Mexico (UNM) found that motorbikes are involved in over 2.3 percent of state crashes. Motorcycles are involved in nearly 14.2 percent of traffic fatalities despite making up a very small number of reported collisions. It is hard to recover on your own after such a catastrophic crash as that involving a motorcycle, and you need to be able to fight for your full recovery by partnering with a trained attorney.
