Distracted Driving Collisions in New Mexico

Our culture's growing reliance on technology has led to a rise in fatal auto accidents. In New Mexico, where most drivers have access to electronic devices like cell phones and smartwatches, vehicle distractions are more common than ever. A total of 3,142 people were killed in 2020 as a result of distracted driving. Distracted driving collisions caused 424,000 injuries and more than 3,100 fatalities nationwide in 2019. If you were hurt in a crash caused by an inattentive driver, you may have grounds to seek a claim for compensation. 

Following a car accident, New Mexicans often have a few options for recovering financial stability. Typically, the victim will file a claim with the insurance company of the at-fault party. Even if the victim has evidence that the negligent driver was speeding or engaging in other risky activity, it could be difficult to get equitable and comprehensive compensation. Insurance companies harass victims and underpay the damages to which they are legally due. You face the risk of an insurer taking advantage of you if you do not have legal representation fighting for your rights.

In addition to the immediate expenditures related to a car accident, our attorneys are able to extensively investigate the claims of our clients by forecasting future medical bills, missed wages, and other expenses. Your pain and suffering as a result of the injury should be covered by the settlement. We will thoroughly evaluate the claim's value before contacting the insurance provider. We will seek restitution in court if the insurance company does not offer a fair settlement for your damages.
