Distracted Driving Crashes in New Mexico

In New Mexico, one of the leading causes of crashes is driver distraction. Statistics show that distracted driving contributes to 14 percent of injury collisions and close to 8 percent of fatal collisions. In 2019, there were 3,100 fatalities and 424,000 injuries nationwide due to distracted driving accidents. Distracted drivers need to be held responsible for their roles in serious car accidents, and that can only be done if you choose to seek a personal injury claim in order to pursue financial restitution. 

No one ever plans to be involved in a car accident, but everyone needs to be prepared if they are the victim of a collision. That means understanding how to pursue compensation through legal actions. Many people are unaware of their legal rights after a car accident, and it can be even harder to understand your situation if you are dealing with life-threatening injuries. Your entire way of life can be impacted by your ability to successfully pursue a personal injury claim. You need a trusted attorney who can help you make informed decisions about your recovery and ensure that you are able to collect full compensation for your injuries and other damages. 

Few things are as devastating as a car crash. You need to be ready to take action in order to stand up for yourself and protect your future. Immediately after the crash, the insurance provider of the at-fault party will contact you and ask you to provide a statement. However, you need to wait and first call a trusted attorney. Politely have the insurance representative contact your lawyer so that he or she can take over the negotiation process.
