Distracted Driving Accidents in New Mexico

Many drivers fail to pay attention to the road. Distracted driving can be something as innocent as having a conversation with a backseat passenger or messing with the radio. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a total of 3,142 people were killed by distracted drivers in the United States in 2019. The rate of drivers using devices while driving has increased greatly in recent years, growing from 1.5 percent in 2012 to 3.4 percent in 2021. 

There is never a perfect way to be ready for a catastrophic auto accident. The actions of a careless motorist can cause severe or even fatal injuries in a matter of seconds. How much compensation you can seek in a prospective personal injury claim depends on the extent of your injuries and your state immediately after an automobile accident.

After a serious vehicle accident, it is normal for crash victims to be unsure about what to do. Managing your injuries and attempting to take legal action against the person who caused them can be very difficult. You should not rely solely on the insurance provider to get fair compensation. To pursue the full value of your claim, you must speak with an experienced New Mexico personal injury attorney. In the absence of legal counsel, you run the risk of being taken advantage of by a major insurance company. You must make every effort to ensure that your claim is as compelling as possible.
