New Mexico Car Crashes

Every year, over 6.7 million accidents are reported on American roadways. This is equal to approximately 18,000 per day. Unfortunately, over 4 million people sustain serious injuries every year in car crashes throughout the country. Additionally, more than 36,000 people lose their lives annually due to these wrecks. For example, in 2021, 39,508 fatal car accidents were reported throughout the country that took the lives of 42,939 people. These crashes resulted in approximately 13 deaths per 100,000 people, equivalent to 1.37 deaths per 100,000,000 miles traveled.

These statistics outline the fact that car accidents are a severe problem in the United States. They can happen for a multitude of different reasons, however, human error is the main contributing factor. At this point in time, driver distraction is the most commonly seen form of driver negligence on American roadways. Drivers distracted by their cell phones cause more accidents than anyone else. Looking down at your cell phone is basically equivalent to driving with your eyes closed, which is extremely dangerous and can even turn out to be deadly.
