New Mexico Reckless Driving Crashes

Driving carelessly and failing to follow the laws of the road is against the law in New Mexico. Unfortunately, some drivers decide to operate their cars recklessly, endangering both themselves and other road users. Accidents caused by negligent drivers happen every day in New Mexico, and reckless driving accounts for one-third of all road fatalities nationally each year. If a careless motorist damaged you unfairly and you want to recover lost compensation, talk to an attorney to start building your case.

Accident victims are frequently contacted by insurance companies to provide an oral or written statement. Adrenaline is known to cause accident victims to minimize or misrepresent their injuries, and a victim who is in shock may mistakenly admit fault in a recorded statement. If you suffer severe injuries in a vehicle accident, your life may be affected for years to come. One of the many methods insurers use to defraud clients who have strong grounds for a personal injury claim is by taking advantage of the crash victim. 

In New Mexico, individuals who win personal injury cases are entitled to both monetary and non-monetary settlements for their injuries. Economic losses also include compensation for out-of-pocket costs such as lost wages, a decline in earning potential, and medical expenses. Non-economic damages cover expenses for the injured party's diminished quality of life and pain and suffering. These may be more challenging to describe, but your attorney will make sure that your claim adequately accounts for the entire extent of your losses.
