New Mexico Car Wrecks

When you or someone you love has been injured in a car accident, you may be going through an extremely stressful and overwhelming time. You may be stuck in the hospital with painful and even debilitating injuries while you are forced to undergo medical care that feels invasive, extensive, and extremely expensive. In today’s world, the average cost related to sustaining and recovering from a severe car crash injury ranges in the tens of thousands of dollars for Americans. Being hurt in a crash does not only cost you your time and energy, but it can also cost you a lot of money.

On average, New Mexico sees tens of thousands of car accidents each year that cause injuries to thousands of people and take the lives of hundreds. These wrecks occur for multiple reasons, however, the most common reason for car accidents in the Land of Enchantment and across the US is currently driver negligence. Negligent driving comes in several different forms, including but not limited to: 

• Intoxication
• Distraction
• Fatigue
• Speeding

Drivers who act negligently while behind the wheel risk their own lives, the lives of everyone in the vehicle with them, and the lives of everyone on the road around them. The most common form of negligent driving today is distraction, specifically by cell phones. Drivers who think it is okay to even peek at their phones while operating their vehicles could potentially end lives. It is important to remain aware, awake, alert, and sober at all times while operating a motor vehicle.
