New Mexico Car Accidents

Auto collisions occur every day in the United States and throughout the state of New Mexico. Though riding in or driving a vehicle is probably an activity you partake in on a daily basis, it may very well be one of the most dangerous things you do in your life. Auto collisions injure more than 3 million people per year and end the lives of approximately 40,000 annually. Additionally, there are a reported 6 million car crashes that happen in the United States every single year. Alarmingly, the majority of these are caused by negligent drivers.

In the Land of Enchantment, there are a reported 60,000 vehicle collisions per year. These crashes cause injuries to approximately 20,000 individuals yearly. Some injuries that result from auto collisions include broken bones, whiplash, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, disfigurement, and more. These injuries may be difficult and debilitating in nature, costing a fortune in medical bills.

A car crash attorney in Albuquerque can help you if you or a loved one have been injured in an accident caused by negligence. An attorney knows how to get you full and fair compensation for your injuries and losses. The law in New Mexico says when a negligent driver causes injuries, those injured deserve to be compensated for their losses.

Many different kinds of driver negligence contribute to millions of vehicle collisions every year. Fatigue, distraction, and intoxication are three common types of negligence displayed by American drivers. Speeding and disobeying traffic rules/regulations are also dangerous forms of driver negligence. When a negligent driver causes an accident that ends in injuries, those injuries are often much more severe than injuries that may have been sustained in a crash that was not caused by negligence. This is due to the careless nature that negligent drivers display while they drive.
