New Mexico Auto Accidents

On average, the United States sees millions of car crashes each and every year. Surprisingly, the majority of these crashes are preventable and caused by the actions of negligent drivers. Negligent driving has been on the rise in the United States, especially over the past ten years, while the use of smartphones has been on the rise among American citizens. Drivers who think it is okay to look at their phones while behind the wheels of moving vehicles place their lives and the lives of everyone they see on the road at severe risk. Distracted driving is the most common type of negligent driving seen in the United States today, causing over 400,000 car wrecks per year and taking the lives of about 3,000. 

Other forms of negligent driving exist, including speeding, intoxication, and fatigue. Some statistics related to these types include: 

• Speeding is behind around 11,000 deaths per year. 
• Fatigue causes about 100,000 auto collisions per year. 
• Intoxication is the cause of about 30% of auto accident fatalities in the United States every year.
