Distracted Driving Accidents in New Mexico

Every day, we see drivers who are looking down at their phones, and driver distraction is spreading across the nation. Distracted driving causes a remarkably high number of crashes in New Mexico, and statistics show that it is a factor in about 41 percent of fatal crashes across the nation. This is almost 12 percentage points higher than Hawaii, the second-highest state on the list. It is also about five times greater than the national average. Anyone who must travel on New Mexico roads should be concerned about these figures, and just know that a distracted driver can cause a crash at any time. 

Most people who live in New Mexico drive every day. You spend so much time driving that it is likely that you or someone you love will be involved in an automobile accident one day. Although major crashes are never planned for, they occur daily around the state. You must have a solid strategy in place in case a careless driver's actions cause harm to you or a loved one. That means having a skilled automobile accident attorney with years of experience managing personal injury lawsuits on your side.

Pursuing a compensation claim on your own can be incredibly challenging. The legal system is complicated, and the majority of crash victims do not have the necessary knowledge to pursue a successful claim. After a car accident that changes your life, you have to do everything within your ability to ensure that you can recover fully, and that means working closely with a trained lawyer from the very beginning of your case.
