New Mexico Auto Accidents

Each year, millions of auto accidents occur in the United States. On average, more than 6 million car wrecks take place across the nation yearly. These accidents cause injuries to over 3 million individuals and cut short the lives of approximately 40,000 annually - and these numbers only continue to grow. There are various reasons car wrecks happen, however, the most common contributor in the United States is negligent driving. Driver negligence comes in several different forms, including: 

• Distraction: These days, American drivers are more distracted than ever – but, the majority of the time, they are looking at their phone screens, texting, or talking on the phone. In the US, texting and driving is the most common reason auto accidents occur.
• Speeding: Drivers often travel at unsafe speeds, which can cause catastrophic and even fatal car crashes.
• Fatigue: Driving while over-tired is basically equal to driving while intoxicated. Your reaction times, vision, and judgment can become impaired, which are all vital for safe driving. 
• Intoxication: Drivers who choose to indulge in mind/mood-altering substances and operate their vehicles place themselves and others at severe risk for injuries or even fatalities.

On average, more than 400,000 car crashes occur yearly due to the actions of distracted drivers. Additionally, speeding can be attributed to about 11,000 fatalities yearly, and, driver fatigue causes about 100,000 yearly auto crashes. Overall, these facts and statistics prove the fact that negligent driving is a severe issue and needs to be addressed head-on by everyone in our society.
