Motorcycle Crashes in New Mexico
The rate of motorcycle accidents in New Mexico has risen greatly in recent years. The year 2019 marked a nearly five-year high in motorcycle fatalities in the state with 59 reported deaths. There are many factors that contribute to serious motorcycle crashes, and despite what many believe, most are caused by the reckless actions of other drivers.

Being injured in a motorcycle crash will undeniably cost you significant time and money. You may not know what to do next in order to make sure you are properly compensated for your injuries. It is likely that the insurance company will reach out to you soon after the crash in order to offer you a settlement. It is usually a poor decision to accept one of these rushed settlements for many reasons. The insurer wants to pressure you into accepting the smallest settlement possible for your injuries. That is why you need to consult with a trained New Mexico personal injury lawyer so you can make sure you really understand the value of your case.
It is incredibly traumatic when you are hit while riding a motorcycle. You need to make sure you work with a trained attorney with experience handling cases like yours.
