New Mexico Distracted Driving Crashes

In today's technologically advanced society, distracted driving is just too widespread, and this has increased the number of major auto accidents. For drivers, distractions are more prevalent than ever. Most drivers in New Mexico have electronic devices in their possession, such as smartphones and smartwatches, which could distract them while driving. 2020 saw 3,142 fatalities due to distracted driving. Distracted driving events resulted in 424,000 injuries and roughly 3,100 fatalities in the US in 2019.

Insurance companies routinely get in touch with accident victims and request that they give a recorded statement. Significant injuries after a car accident might be quite damaging. Because they are still experiencing the effects of the adrenaline from the impact, someone who has recently been in an auto accident may exaggerate their injuries, and a victim in shock may incorrectly admit fault in a recorded statement.

Insurance adjusters typically begin pressuring accident victims to accept a rapid, low-value settlement when they are still reeling from their injuries and reeling from the accident. Before signing any insurance settlement documents or accepting any payout from the insurer, we strongly advise consulting a lawyer. This can aid you in avoiding accepting a settlement offer that is undervalued or inadequate to adequately compensate you for your losses.
