Distracted Driving Crashes in New Mexico

Crashes with serious injuries are increasingly caused by driver distraction nationwide. According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), New Mexico had the fifth-worst national ranking for reckless driving in 2014. Recent studies have even found that driving while distracted might be just as risky as driving under the influence. In New Mexico, there were 21,894 reported crashes in 2015 that were the result of human error. Younger drivers are more likely to be distracted while driving, and in 2015, those aged 20 to 24 made up the largest percentage of accident victims.

A car crash can completely change your life in a matter of seconds. Collisions often happen when you least expect them, and you need to be ready to protect your legal rights if you or someone close to you is seriously hurt as a result of a car accident. The aftermath of a car accident is difficult to manage on your own, and this is particularly the case if you are already dealing with serious injuries and other damages. You need to make sure that you reach out to a qualified car crash attorney in order to ensure that your rights are secured and that the person responsible for your damages is brought to justice. 

Our lawyers believe that crash victims should not be held financially liable for the damages resulting from a reckless driver’s action. It can be much harder to actually make this a reality. Many injured parties are unsure what they need to do in order to hold the at-fault party accountable, and that is why you should consult a qualified personal injury lawyer in New Mexico.
