New Mexico Distracted Driving Crashes
Across the country, distracted driving has quickly become one of the leading causes of catastrophic accidents. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that New Mexico has one of the highest rates of distracted driving crashes. Statistics show that distracted driving can be equally risky to drivers as drunk driving. The majority of victims of distracted driving accidents are under twenty years old, with most collisions involving some form of human error. Distracted driving causes hundreds of thousands of serious injuries and over 3,000 fatalities annually. Distracted drivers take their eyes off the road around 10 percent of the time. Make sure you are ready to pursue a strong compensation claim with the assistance of a knowledgeable lawyer.
It makes sense that victims of serious accidents in New Mexico would be cautious of taking on a major insurance company. Insurance coverage policies can be extremely difficult to grasp, particularly for victims who lack the necessary legal knowledge. Any insurance policy may have a great deal of obscure wording and bureaucratic red tape, which can be intimidating to those who are not used to managing personal injury claims. You should make every effort to fully heal if you were in a car accident and suffered severe injuries. Usually, this starts with collaborating with a skilled lawyer who has a proven track record of successful injury cases.
