Distracted Driving Accidents in New Mexico

Although it is the duty of every driver to pay attention to the road, sadly, many fail to do so. Each year, more than 45,000 car accidents take place in New Mexico, and statistics show that driver distraction contributes to the majority of these collisions. In New Mexico in 2017, there were recorded distracted driving accidents every 56 minutes on average. In just the few seconds it takes to check a text while driving at highway speeds, you can cover the length of a football field. 

It is an unfortunate reality that there are many reckless drivers on the road in New Mexico. This means that there is always a chance that you may be involved in a serious car accident while you are out and about. Your risk of suffering serious injuries will depend on the type of accident you are involved in, but you need to be ready if you ever find yourself the victim of a vehicle collision. This means knowing a trained attorney who can take immediate action to ensure that your legal rights are protected. 

After a car accident, the insurance provider will send a representative to get information about the crash. The adjuster will likely ask you to provide a recorded statement, but this is not required. Actually, this can potentially damage your claim if you say something the wrong way. You need to send the adjuster to speak with your attorney so that he or she can make sure your best interests are protected.
