Auto Collisions in New Mexico

Car accidents are a significant problem in the United States and throughout the state of New Mexico. Every year, tens of thousands of car crashes happen in New Mexico that cause injuries and even fatalities. On average, about 60,000 auto collisions are reported per year throughout the Land of Enchantment. These accidents cause injuries for around 20,000 people and take the lives of hundreds. Across the nation, over 3 million people are hurt in car crashes per year and around 40,000 lose their lives. 

Perhaps the most alarming fact related to these collisions is that the majority of them are caused by driver negligence. Throughout the entire United States, millions of vehicle accidents happen due to the actions of negligent drivers per year.

These types of collisions are extremely dangerous and can even turn out to be deadly for those who become involved in them.
