New Mexico Distracted Driving Accidents

Driver distraction is becoming so common on New Mexico roads, and many drivers openly admit to doing things like using a smartphone while operating a motor vehicle. In fact, the state is one of the most dangerous for driver distraction. New Mexico has the highest distracted driving fatality rate in the nation of 61.6 deaths per 1 million residents. An alarming 40.75 percent of collisions in the state involve some form of driver distraction. This is nearly five times the national rate of 8.12 percent. 

Immediately after being involved in a car accident, you may not really know how seriously you were hurt. We all know that adrenaline can impact our perception, and adrenaline is in full effect after a serious collision. This chemical is released in your brain to calm you down in traumatic situations, and it can make you think that you are perfectly fine. However, this is often not the case. 

You should receive medical treatment as soon as you can after becoming the victim of a car crash. This can be beneficial in many ways. It will give you the care you desperately need after a collision to make sure you are okay. It can also help link your injuries to the accident. This is a serious benefit if you later choose to pursue a claim for compensation against the driver responsible for your injuries. 

After a crash, you are likely left with many questions without much-needed answers. All people injured in a car accident have legal rights.
