Distracted Driving Accidents in New Mexico

Driver negligence is the leading cause of car accidents across New Mexico. In fact, the statistics show that driver inattention was listed as a contributing factor in 21,894 of the 62,787 collisions that occurred in the state in 2015. Failure to yield the right of way was the second most common cause of collisions in the state that year, with 6,602 reported crashes.

It takes much more than just filling out paperwork to make a claim for damages. You may be asked to detail the facts and circumstances surrounding the crash, the extent of your injuries, why the other driver is at fault, and why the insurance company should cover your personal injury claim. However, the insurer will have a legal team in place to prevent you from paying the full value of your claim. 

You need to consult a personal attorney that focuses on car crashes if you were hurt in a vehicle or if you need guidance on what to do next.
